[PLUG] Fax update

[virgopa@earlham.edu]

Well, I'd have enjoyed doing it but the cost argument for long distance
calls won out, so I introduced a few people to Mozilla's
standards-tolerable editor, made a few templates, and things are at least
functional. Perhaps another time, assuming I decide to move toward
administration?


Your friends are quite safe, btw - We're a legislative group that works
with recognized Native American Tribes, the only people getting faxes are
those that paid their $2-4k and insisted that they can't possibly get
their news updates by email. No unsolicited anything going out except to
elected representatives.

I missed entirely the comment about the space bar? I'm proof-reading,
still don't see the problem. Sorry for the odd quotes, I'm getting
everything via digest.

And missing a space bar, apparently. ;)

I hope you realize given the implications of the combination you're asking
about, you might be met with a lot of resistance unless you can show that
you're not doing this for direct marketing or other scummy purposes.  Yes,
I've done a lot of this sort of thing.  But I tend to screen who I want to
help with it so it doesn't get used for sh*tbombing my friends.
