KathyK:

I thought I might have messed up the last time I edited the Chat
reminder here on OTC and added in an extra reminder but I don't think
I did.  The message archive here seems to indicate that OTC has had
two reminders about chat since before I became a list elf in early
2005.  The main list has had one reminder since before I joined the
group in '03.  I was too tired to go back further.  

There *were* two chat entries listed in the calendar on Main until
today and both were set to send reminders but only one of them was
actually doing its job, which is good since the second had outdated
chat information.  So I deleted it.  

So, I don't know why it's set up that way.  Maybe Kelley or Sheryll
might know and remember?

Also, Carol, I added that post you recommended to the database and
snagged the "what it's about" section from your post.  

For everyone who doesn't know, all anyone needs to do is email the
hpforgrownups-owner email address to add something to the Recommended
Posts databases.  There are two of them (pre-OOP and a post-OOP) and
they can be found over at the Main group here:

KathyK, who doesn't recommend searching for weekly chat reminder posts
as it's quite boring
