[Sigsti-l] Please send your newletter submissions

[Joe Hourcle]

Just a friendly reminder --

August 20th is next Monday, so for those who were procrastinating on it,
today might be a nice day to procastinate on other things at work, and 
send me a sentance or two about things of interest to the community.

If you sent me something, and didn't get a response back, I most likely 
didn't get it, and I'd appreciate your resending it to an alternate 
account:

 	oneiros at annoying.org
 	jhourcle at umd.edu
 	roadkill at gwu.edu
