Excellent outline Andrew. Have you been doing this sort of thing
long..tee hee. In reflection, I realize that this is a far better
project than trying to resurrect something from days gone by. A fresh
new start is really a great idea. We can build on it in the months &
years to come.

Ah, a man with a plan. You're growing on me, Gaf. *grin*

I have a suggestion to those who are on this mailing list. Perhaps you
all would like to add this to your sig file when posting on rec.kites.

"Would you like to participate in creating the Kites101 website? You can
subscribe to the 101admin mailing list by going to
http://www.ourshack.com/mailman/listinfo/101admin" 

or something along those lines. 

Andrew...should we contribute by sending html to you? Tell me what ya
want son!

Huggz, Ellen
