The problem with "WEBlog, WEBpage, or mailing list" is that they only reach the people who are online and are looking for them. I know that they have staff that search the papers for items of interest, but to they also search online? I don't think many politicians surf for information online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
