There is a board on Frost for this purpose: freesite-announce public key: [EMAIL PROTECTED] private key: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note, however, because there 2 networks (Stablenet and Unstablenet), all such inserts will need to be done twice - once on each network. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/ypDihctESbvQ8ZwRAr4eAJ9GqgEO0GwDF6y5zKsHSu7/OwiAZgCfcaS6 6UnHtPB9QvYV+P7V1L3ylbs= =XObj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
