Excellent suggestion and I hope they will jump on the wagon with us. For right now I'm going to sit back for a bit and see how many are interested in this project. If interest is high I will set up appropriate e-mail addresses and web pages.
To everyone who has replied thus far be assured that I am keeping a copy of each post and will let the list know how we are doing interest-wise as things progress. For now if you wish to reach me off-list in regard to the petition you can e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This will help me keep these sorted out from my other e-mail, which gets very heavy at times.
