Your 'unlink' list moderation initiative, and certainly your philosophy
for maintaining the Link list have, as always, been very well thought
throughTony. All Link certainly appreciates and applauds your efforts.

Do you think that an appropriate expansion of link's discussion ambit
might be, 'Information & Communication Technologies and Australia'?

The rubric seems logical for Link's evolving-ecology virtual environment.

Your thoughts re a system whereby all Link members are invited at any
time to write a short or long email, with the word "Article" in the subject
and based on their expertise, which is routed to a special, 'Link Article' 
web-based Link Article Archive website?  All Link should like reading
short or long 'expert articles' written by the wide spectrum of members
on subjects in which they have expertise, and also for all these articles
to be specifically archived, in addition to the normal Link mail archives.

bachelor degrees, and

as if that means anything.
