In re to the archives - For those of you that wish to know about the daily
uploads to the archives
on a daily basis you have a couple of choices, I will list those below:
I will post whatever items are updated here once per week - several on
this list have made requests
that the updates be limited as they are receiving them 3x the 10 lists or so
they are subbed to. So I
listened and because there are certainly plenty of options to accessing the
archives,and the information,
I will work with the list and the archives to ensure that you know what is
being posted, but at current we will limit
those to the items pertinent to Fulton and once per week if there are
updates.
