Amy,
I did see i replied to this a month ago, but never said anything else, so I
want to apologize for that as well. And I also apologize for everything I
said as well. If you still want to do this, that would be great, if not,
that is fien as well. I feel real bad about what happened, and feel bad that
you felt mistreated, although I was one of the people. If you don't feel
like responding, that is fine as well.

Well, I think that getting to your page first would be a little strange, for
MICHLUG, what do other poeple think? It is very nice of you to offer.

All that stuff would be fine. Maybe we can find another host to do this, and
you can do this?
> What I can't offer...

> -Hosting for another domain name

We don't need a fancy design, I have some logo's Kai made that we can use,
maybe some links to other places members websites.

That would be the best situation, yes. Does anyone know of any?

That would be neat!

Yes!

Yes, I need to make some up for the Novi train show.

Indeed, but we can coordinate shows and stuff outside of LUGNET, and post
stuff on LUGNEt for announcements and the like.
Well, thank you for responding to the initial e-mail, Amy, I am surprised I
did not remember this e-mail, I thought it was something else. If you want
to do this, or not, youc an contact me privately at ssanburn@cleanweb.net
and if you don't, I will take this as a no, and I will leave you alone.
On behalf of Chris and other members, I want to apologize, and I hope you
continue your building of your church, your first few offerings looked
really neat, I thought the cat pictures were cute.
Sincerely,
Scott S.
