Mailing List/K Factor

[Chris Moon]

I agree this is an old way old doing things.  I don't know about the 
NSRCA's web server and its costs and limitations, but I know there is 
software out there (some free) that we could put onto the NSRCA's server 
and have an RCU type forum there w/ posting of pics etc.  Maybe our web 
team can look into this??
