        Hi Colleen! I've got that article in my files, so I'll send you a
copy by email.

        Here's a cool trick though, for you & anybody else interested:

        You can catch up completely by getting full monthly archives from
the mysterious coblist majordomo. The list is only a couple months old at
this point, so it's not a *horrible* amount of info yet ...

        Address an email to Majordomo at deatech.com
        (leave the subject line blank)
        In the body, put one of the following commands:

(for August messages:)          get coblist cob.archive.9608
(for September messages:)       get coblist cob.archive.9609
(for October to date:)          get coblist cob.archive.9610

        Does that make any sense? Here, I'll example it - pretend this is
your mailer and you're filling it out (this is for the August archive:)

        Send it & the computer will automatically send you August's
messages. Repeat for September & October.
