And I only send out, at most, one or two messages a week this way. If you already receive our messages, there is no need for you to switch to this variety; but you are welcome to if you like. You might also want to check this Yahoo Group for archived copies of messages, which will accumulate here. If you would like to receive email reminders of our chat sessions, simply send a blank email message to businessonthewebchats-subscribe@yahoogroups.com or go to http://groups.yahoo.com/businessonthewebchats and sign up there.
