[Seattle-editorial] Re: (was: Re: [Imc-seattle-community] mail to general list not being distributed?

[sheelanagig at juno.com]

I am not interested in meetings myself, but I am willing to post with you
THE MINUTE things change and look better. 
I am willing to give you articles to help make it better.
But not in the current shape of affairs.

As soon as you have a viable plan and things start to change, again, I am
on board, with articles ready for ya!

Good luck,
Kirsten
