[Steppes] boundaries (was: a big long subject line)

[Duncan Hepburn]

Jaque,

I was just talking to Genevieve on the way home about trying to find out 
the same thing (not just for Lindenwood, but for all three groups). If I 
can get membership by ZIP code numbers, I'll plug em into the map the 
same way I did boundaries, and we can analyze where the members really 
are concentrated.

I am going to see our various seneschals (local, region, and kingdom) 
this weekend at Round Table, and I will get the ball rolling to try to 
gather that data.

Duncan
