[The Reinharts]

Tony and All, No this idea is not being ignored. In fact, it is part of my 
proposed plan for the future. The Commscan project is a definite part of 
this. I am planning on sending my proposal to the Board after the first of 
the year. It will include a  three tiered membership, a plan for 100% CORSA 
membership, that will include compromises that should make everyone happy, 
redesign of the website, and the start of a wiki/encyclopedia, plus much 
more. I'm hoping it will be all things to all people, including old members, 
new members, and potential members. I will let you know when it is done and 
reviewed by the board.
