Let's have some fun and try to make this discussion as useful as possible. Here is how we'd like to start: 1. Write up a single one or two sentence "Top 50 Internet and Elections Lessons and Trends" bullet and assign it a subjective number of where you would rank it in the top 50 - 1 being the most important lesson or trend. 2. Share that Top 50 bullet item with the list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and mark it as a "Trend" or a "Lesson." If it is a new lesson for 2000, add (Lesson - 2000) or (Trend - 2000). Lessons or innovations discovered in 1998 or even 1996 are encouraged - a recap would be helpful. Use a subject line like "37 - People Go to Web Sites for Campaign Telephone Numbers - Your Name Here" 3. ADD YOUR INTRODUCTION - with either your Top 50 contribution or with your first post or reply to other messages. Be sure to include basic contact information including the URLs of any of the sites you worked on. You can be as insightful or promotional as you like. One of the goals of this list is to discover the new folks at the grass roots who did cool stuff. We won't know about you if you don't toot your horn some! Thank you for being a part of this discussion! Again send your Top 50 bullet and introduction this week to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] As a reminder, no one should post more than three times a day. We don't want two folks to go back and forth all day without letting others put in their two cents. Also, we ask that you sign your posts with basic contact information, Cheers, Steven Clift DO-CAMPNET Team P.S.
