Hi everyone,
I don't want to be a party pooper, but two of my computer geeks have told me that since my computer is so critical to my income, that I should throw away, unopened ALL FORWARDS and open GROUP mailings, because literally every group email contains viruses. You see my dilemma.

Certainly a blog...a place that people can go and share data would be useful. Rick Osmon is working on a Chat Room covering ancient American (and beyond) subjects. http://www.oopaloopacafe..com/index.html That may be a good place to go. Susan English has something relating to ancient waterways. I know there are others out there, but I am not the best person to ask. Susan would be a good contact as she is quite "networked" in the field. Her address is SuzEnglish@aol.com
AAPS has a LINKS page with many connections too. We can add more if you let me know. go to:

Up to here with paper doll business...working on spring newsletter for AAPS too.
Anything you want included? Notices of events? interesting finds that connect the world to America?
Let me know.
Thanks,
Judy

I've had the address so long, and get so much junk mail, it overwhelms me and takes too much time, and I decide each day- "Shall I work at my paper doll business or deal with email?"...and my business usually wins out. If you need me to know something right away, please phone. THANKS!

Below are some responses. I enjoy everyone's contributions to these mass emails. It does bring up a need we have in common, that is a BLOG dedicated to ancient inscriptions, symbols, etc. I do not know of an existing such blog. Its a good idea. Any MES member or non-member takers? Let me know. The MES web page host – Midphase of Chicago does offer a blog with hosting our page - I'd have to check for certain.
A blog would answer Judy's below concerns too. Thanks Judy. I had thought of using bcc for routing, but wanted to allow an individual to correspond easily with individual circle members. A blog again would resolve that too. What to others think? I will go bcc if others want it too. And I will gladly drop this circling email monster I started in favor of other alternatives - like a blog. Please speak up!
Let me know. Jim Leslie
While writing the above, David Stewart responded to Judy with this:
Had Jim done that I could not have responded to you.
I like to distinguish what could happen from what actually does happen.
Jim's software could contain all sorts of nasties, but it does not.
