===========================================
Thank you, thank you, thank you for an incredible first week.
It’s great to see (page counter)and read (your e-mail) that many of you find
the resource to be of value.
I received numerous email messages asking me to send a brief weekly
update/reminder to the list. So, as promised, a few highlights from the first
week.
Please visit the site for links, annotations, and MUCH MORE CONTENT.
Again, this is a heavily abridged version.
