<VV> communique improvement idea number 6

[Harry Jensen, Executive Secretary]

Hi--

If the information is already in one of the Tech Guides, then why 
reprint it?

Personally, I think we can do more online to promote the Tech Guides, 
such as put some sample articles online for folks to get an idea of what 
the Tech Guides are all about. That way, you can publicize them for 
everyone, not just new members.

Bob, there are no 'rules' per se, but about 50% of our members have been 
members for a long time. Reprinting articles that they have already seen 
reduces content for those people.
