not refer to it. There are also a few glitchs in the new site (e.g., you
can't get past the Waiver page to edit a box right now) but I am sure they
will be worked out soon.
It is a great new way to post boxes and, when up and running full time, may
obviate the need to read so many e-mails to get to new sites in a particular
area.
