Richard Thompson: welcome to the group. Your suggestion about assigning an ID number to the title of each post would be very helpful. I am also most impressed with your using the SURVEY format to introduce yourself. I wonder if this may be incorporated into the process of signing on new members? Could the welcoming letter from Barbara have Patrick Martin's Survey template attached, and ask that new members use that, as Richard did, to introduce themselves? Just a thought. I have been happy to see the response to the requests about submitting a survey -- I've counted over 20 responses. Hopefully, more people will find the time to do so, now that the holidays are over and a major part of the country is snowed under. What better way to spend time then to participate in such worthwhile endeavors as the Survey and writing to your congress-persons urging them to co-sponsor the Udall bill?
