I am facilitating a small group (20 - 40 people) next month and am thinking about using this process exclusively (no re-typing) with a digital camera and e-mail or where necessary copies of the photos. I would appreciate any thots you might have from experience (or theoretical speculation) for "do's and don'ts" in going this way... Winston
