Yeah, I like it too, but I'd like it better if they would fix the
italics-coding errors. :-)

(As Dan knows, I already wrote to Scott S., the reporter, and
explained that I was using OmniWeb 2.0, and seeing major chunks of
inadvertently italicized text in 3 news stories/summaries.)

I'd like email better than fax. Craig Newmark of Marimba sends his
moderated postings individually or in digest form daily via email,
and everything posted also goes up on his site
(http://www.cnewmark.com/) very soon -- within 12-24 hours.
