Snap Article and the K-Factor

[Chris Larson]

Dave Lockhart and I have been in e-mail correspondence on getting this
particular ( Snap article ) together and into the K-Factor.
But it would be nice if we had someone just watching the threads here on a
regular basis for potential K-Factor "fodder" and then compiling it....I
have enough going on with the regular editor duties to be doing that
reliably....Keith?

Keith,
I agree.  By the powers vested in me I pronounce you consigned editor of a
KFactor article summarizing the viewpoints of those that should know.  the
KFactor is our publication and we are the ones that make it better.  You are
a good writer and can do a great job.  What do you say?
--Lance
