Well, let's see.  Here's the list that I proposed to the Newsletter
editors (Las Vegas), Comm Comm (Florida), and DECUServe XCOM (California):

Internet, DECUServe, CompuServe, America On-Line, GENIE, Fidonet, Usenet
Montly LUG meetings, national Symposia, Regional Symposia, Seminars
Library
CD-ROM
FAX
mail

Everyone there seemed to like that list.

I don't know what upper management thinks, since I've never asked them.
Frankly, if they think that they can restrict the distribution of an
electronic newsletter to one or more avenues, then they're completely
clueless.  And all this time I only thought they were generally clueless
:-) :-) :-)

However, if we do an electronic newsletter, it'll be available ALL of those
ways (or as many as we can find people to disseminate with).  My question
for you folks is: did I leave anything out?
