Re: dam-l http://www.sandelman.ottawa.on.ca/dams readability



Dear Dianne

Thnak you for keeping me 'in the loop' on your work and list serve. Its
very interesting to follow and congratulations on your web site. If you
agree I'll inlcude it on our site as one web link suggestion. You might
want to consider adding our web site to yours - www.dams.org.

On the blue issue...yes i have the same problem...a lighter shade of
blue would work better.

Lets keep in touch. i am in the midst og getting the Secretariat set up
- we should be starting our work within a few weeks.

With best wishes

Achim
