Ok folks, I think Lee has just volunteered to coordinate the effort <g>, and I am sure Ray and Rob would host the end result on cflib.org.
I'll give you a hand making it happen if you'd like. --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Lee Fuller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 2:32 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CF Wishlist Absolutely agree.. That's what I discussed in a wish proposal many moons ago. (I think you and I actually had this discussion face-to-face once. Don't remember now.) Would make it simple and straight-forward.
