Zounds, Sarah, you're more ambitious (and apparently more Web-talented)
than I! I wouldn't know where to begin with such a project!  But I suppose
this IS the sort of reference we may have to create ourselves....I really
can't envision Mundanes having any reason for such an undertaking.

Well, in the few weeks I've been on this list, it's begun to feel more &
more like a conversation the women in my family might have if we all got
together in funny clothes over a pot of mint tea....So I feel a sense of
family obligation.

If there's any way someone in the West Kingdom can help in this endeavor,
let me know!
