>

> Hi all,

>

> Several members have responded to my request for help with moderating

&

> help with setting up a web page. I am very happy to have people who are

> willing to pitch in a bit, and am just sending a general note about why I

> made the request. I have to get some other work out, & will reply to the

> individuals as soon as I can.

>

> First, it seems to be in the nature of this kind of support list to

get

> overloaded & end up generating too much mail. When & if this happens, I am

> thinking about breaking the list down into sub-groups (smaller, more

> intimate lists), & will then need more moderator help.

>

> Second, as our volume increeases, I will need backup with moderating.

>

> Third, I would like us to collaborate on producing a useful web site

for

> ourselves & others, & am interested in feedback about contents, and help in

> setting it up. I already have a site to use.

>

> Fourth, I have large autoresponder capability at my business site, and

can

> put all kinds of information in text files people can retrieve instantly

> from the autoresponders. I would like to setup an information library for

> list members & others that way. Information could include specific stuff on

> the many various related conditions (CFS + etc), FAQS on various

> traditional treatments & non-traditional treatments, Social Security, aids

> like tens units, alpha stim & others, & things that are very repetitive on

> lists to make it easier on all of us.

>

> Again, I do appreciate those of you who have expressed interest in

> helping, and would also like input on creative ideas.

>

> Have a good weekend everybody (if you can). Work at it!
