Nice going Ryan. I just popped in and noticed the new link features on
the LbNCA home page as well as the PNW home page.
Hmmm I didn't see them linking to LbNA (Don's tongue firmly planted in
the side of his cheek, and just stirring up the pot).

It had been awhile since I last updated those messages, and it was
actually the photos that prompted me to update them. =) When I
originally created it, Yahoo Groups didn't support the option of a
photo so I hard-coded it into the message itself. Now that Yahoo
*does* support one photo there, I took the hard-coded message out.
Then I got to thinking about if the message itself should be updated.
They used to link to the main talk list, but I figured most people
were likely to find the regional talks FROM the main talk list, so
that was probably just wasted space.
Then I got to thinking about what could I include that might be useful
for people? Links to the major cities in the covered area, of course!
Thought I was so clever. =) Read the lists and with a single click,
poof! Lots of boxes!
Wish I could have added more cities, but alas, Yahoo only allows a
maximum of 2,000 characters for the message and I ran out of room.
I had considered updating the message on the LbNE group since I'm the
owner there too, but I don't even visit that board anymore and gave up
control of it to locals who would follow it more closely than I would
years ago. Didn't seem right for me to meddle with their board
anymore, even if I am still technically the owner. I also thought
about updating the Southern California board since I am a moderator on
that board, but it really seems like only the owners should update it,
so I decided not to.
But I like it. *nodding* Click your way to happiness. =)

Well, truth be told, I do have a certain affinity for Atlas Quest.
Definitely can't claim I'm unbiased on that count. ;o)
