That may not be true. *If* I read the request for Deputy Kingdom
Chronicler correctly, they plan on putting the BS on the net. I don't
know how they plan on controlling access to it, if at all.

Uhh. Knowing there is an event in Waco doesn't help me much if I don't
have a clue where to go, how much it costs, if they allow pets, etc. It
just makes it convient for future planning of your personal calendar.

But then again, some local groups are posting event announcements on
here and on the web. Guess they want more than just the people who get
the BS or would rather make information easily available for all. *smile*
