We have probably 100 people from outside of the U.S. We get quite a bit from Canada, some from OZ or NZ, and occassionaly something from Europe. Let's hear from you. ------------------- This is a very good proposal to give us one day a week for picnic. I would like to add to his proposal this one: We should have one day a week "European Forum," One day "Asian Forum," and one day "Third World Forum." We shoud set aside one day to air each forum. The US posters should be silent just one day a week so that we can hear other voices and other peoples' concerns.
