Sounds good.  I have Word 97 & Word Perfect 8.0.  I'll go with Word as
that's what most people probably have.

This we should do anyway.  I've been wondering if there's a way to make
our "Links" section more organized & user-friendly.  I haven't gone in &
tried to mess with it, but it'd be great if we could put the most
important links at the top and categorize them all in some way.
Thoughts?

I prefer (3) as I'd like to keep our FAQs with Netiquette & so forth.
Maybe put a question & answer about the archives at the beginning
somewhere.  Does that work?

I was indeed an English major.  Are you majoring in English right now?

Thanks as always Melanie!!!
