Re: [asa] Archives on the web

There is very little general discussion on the public forum. It was
set up to primarily discuss the council's vision for the ASA
presented at the last annual meeting. All ASA members received
information about the forum in the fall and there was some discussion
of it in the newsletter. There is a place for general discussion. We
are not sure that phpBB forum mechanism is going to be our long term
solution and that's why we have not publicized it wide (other than
for the single purpose described above).

If you are an ASA member and want to check out the discussion that is
there, please contact me to let me know that you are an ASA member
and then I can send you the username and password.
