That's a great analogy IMO, because we're spreading the Gospel if you will. ;) Try to get consensus though, I bet this is going to be a hard task to undertake - first getting the local lugs to hand over a portion of their funding to a central authority, and 2nd, having the ones that don't collect dues, get organized and start doing so. It will take a strong leader/politican at the head of CLUE to go forward. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
