    Hallelujah!!!!  Somebody actually stepped forward and started the ball 
    rolling on the newsgroup thing!  You know, if this gets started, we 
    will actually see the end of a perennial topic.  What progress :-)  But 
    how can we apply that to the free magazines?
    
    Anyway, a _real_ question on Miata newsgroups:
    	Does this mean the contents of our list will be forwarded to the 
    newsgroup?  Frankly, I'druther not have my comments spewed out onto the 
    group waves.  I'm just barely comfortable being stupid in front of 800 
    close friends, I'm not sure I could handle nameless hordes.
    	Since I don't know diddly about newsgroups, and I don't have the 
    means or energy to join one, I just sit here and type in monochrome 
    ascii.  Could someone enlighten me?
    
    	More important news, I saw a Miata last week!  There's another 
    Mariner Blue around...  unless it was just a tourist :-(  But that 
    might bring the total miata population for the local 1500 square miles 
    to, get this, FOUR MIATAS!  We're almost ready to have a chapter!
    
    Cheerio,

    "Does your town have any police?"
    "No, but we get to use County Sherriffs if we need 'em..."
    
    "Does your town have good Miata roads?"
    "Oh yeah.  Ooooooh, yeah."
