I wonder if someone present at the board meeting could briefly cover the
objections to Dave's proposed use of USENET?  I'm also curious about
the general reaction to the idea.

Usenet seems an ideal means of distributing information and allowing
public questions and answers (an electronic "town meeting"?).  It would
also be a lot easier to fix the typos. : )
