Tommy, add Steve Eskow to your list of names. "Here," though, isn't a "bulletin board," although a bulletin board is featured. This is the Digital Divide Network, and it's much more than a bulletin board, and the sum of its parts: it's a brilliant initiative that has assembled some 7000 people around the world into a virtual community of folks everywhere concerned with narrowing the digital divide.

Most of you don't know me--I just lurk on Andy's discussion group. However, I do use the material here. I would like to nominate him for an award that he posted about. However, in order to do it, I need to give two or three other names. If you would be willing to join me, please send me your name, email etc. and tell me why! I think this bulletin board is reason enough, but his blog is also excellent as is his other work. Please help me nominate Andy!! Thanks, Tommy (And no, I'm not a guy!) Tommy B.
