RE: "State of the Midrange" by Don Rima

I wonder how many of those e-mails came from people old enough to vote.

Writing Lou would be a good idea IF we could get LOTS of folks to DO IT !!! And 
do it
well...

Not that this is apples to apples but Napster posted a plea for users to email 
their
folks in Congress and provided a link, etc. and RIGHT before the trial AND the
hearings where Congress basically did nothing but say, and rightfully so, this 
needs
more research, it was reported that EACH Congress person was getting 70,000 
emails on
average !!! It got attention...
