So what if we left the RDS pages as they are, with Rob and company,, and 
did the email ourselves? The email's web interface could be reduced to 
regular html links, which would make me happy as a hummingbird in a flower 
shop, or a kat in a hummingbird shop,,, hmm, oh, i digressed,,  and the web 
pages for the listserv can be easily updated with Eu doing the ftp too. That 
eliminates the need for bandwidth and instant turn-around. What about the 
number of ftp's per day allowed by the webpage hosting company?
