I though we were going to do a workshop on such things as creating lists, 
How to get best value out of communications as this seems to be the game we 
are in.

I kind of prefer Magnus's short version to the pile of mince that is 
sometimes usual. Especially all the html and forwarding text that folk 
leave in forwarding messages, such as:
-------- Original Message --------

X-UIDL: 	1298377803.H587279P4347.store01.mail.zen.net.uk,S=11116
X-Mozilla-Status: 	0011
X-Mozilla-Status2: 	10000000
X-Mozilla-Keys: ... AAAArgh

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

This is quite interesting but something none tech folk might relate to, who 
just want to communicate in a sensible succinct manner, workshop, would be 
good.

I would be up for helping content wise, but the tech side - communication 
possibilities - I would like to learn more about. Hope I have made myself 
clear:)Ch Bob
