Good idea, but who's going to remember the
http://www.corvair.org/aboutcsa.php website? It's much too long, and NObody
wants that d*^%n stupid flash page. Anymore if anyone asks me for CORSA's
webpage, I either hand them that one, or tell them it's too long, criptic,
or complicated to remember.

Oh Gawd, NO! The email format works just fine. Why fix it if it ain't broke?

This is just the kind of discussion I wanted to spark. Good reply. Let's
people know that it DOES serve a purpose. Just have to weigh it against
CORSA's other funds before deciding the end worth of one's donations.
