[Rhodes22-list] Fw: suggestions welcome

[Rik Sandberg]

Michael,

Seems like it might be kinda nice to see the outline, to get a better feel 
for what they are looking for. There are certainly some people on the board 
with good enough writing skills to do it. If they want to that is.

Maybe they'd like to send it so we could see it???

Rik
