Now that I have been co-ordinating the network for some time (16
months), I thought it would be useful
to review - with all of you - how it is going. For this reason, I am
sending a SHORT questionnaire
(below). Please type your answers after the questions and return by the
end of July 2000 to
[log in to unmask] The results will be collated and circulated to the
list, together with some analysis of
the messages posted to the network in this period.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
John
