I'm sorry about your having to go back to work and having to take time away from PEM. However, i would love to write some here. I am SO passionate about this issue and actually stumbled across your blog as I was looking for ways I could make a difference. I mean, what do you do when you have such a conscience about such a horrible thing as marketers trying to take my child hostage? It's ridiculous and makes this momma really really mad. Anyway, let me know how I can help. I definitely want to keep PEM going and working with others to hold corporations accountable. http://stuffedbrownbear.blogspot.com Hi!

I hope you'll be able to continue once times improve..... However, just wanted to leave you with a suggestion - Perhaps you could setup on the site here a "Wiki-style" newsletter that serves the same purpose and user interaction as blogging/newsgroup but allows members to fill its space with articles, resources and alerts per their ability to donate the time.....it needn't be a formal effort on anyone's part aside from providing the actual Wiki space but your readers would be, in effect, building the newsletter as they write and contribute – and all in newsletter format as you designed at the start. It is truly easy for all adults to use and master as evidenced by the success of Wikipedia (unlike using a traditional web page approach that requires you or someone else to translate the typed / digital articles and photos into a web program and then upload to your servers.) Wiki is built by everyone and can have the words and images uploaded at the same time in a very user-friendly fashion by your contributors. In a seemingly overly-simplistic "package, " Wiki introduced a shifting paradigm on who and how the web and its resources could be built. Just a thought. :) Good luck and thank you for your time and efforts!! Yvette K.
