======================================

Now let's get more folks sign up on this here forum/bart's group. Bart has a nice place here and it is full of wonderful information from a variety of sources....ALL of whom contribute one way or another in their own way. My point was I guess I attempt to send people of same interest:

Gremlin, Hornet, Concord, Spirit; here all the time, but it is not the easiest thing to sign up, especially with yahoo, sometimes. Witness the recent thing where for whatever reason I was bumped off and had to go thru a congressional hearing (thru no fault of Bart) with yahoo, to somehow sign back up. So how about a "welcome form" for people, or a signature at the bottom to let them know how to sign up? The easier the better perhaps, as not a whole lot of folks at internet savvy (big scrabble word using two V's even, and a Y!!!) so if a link is provided, or a form letter, perhaps this would help?
