<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">This issue
is coming to you using a new and (I earnestly hope) easier route.<span style> </span>With help from a tech-savvy friend of the
Planet (yes, the same one who’s helping us organize a quick comment system!) we’ve
established a mailing list on the MailMan system at <a href="http://sonic.net">sonic.net</a>.<span style> </span>The “from” on your email letter will be
different, and your spam filter might not let it through if you have that kind
of email. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Over the
weekend I’ll be sending another letter using the old system to find out if you’ve
gotten the new kind of message today.<span style> </span>It’s
not nearly as complicated as it sounds, and if it works it will make my life
much easier.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">So below,
as always, are all the links from the last two weeks.<span style> </span>Welcome, by the way, to all the new
