You'd sent it from a non-subscribed email addy and it got stuck in the
administrative queue. The queue gets up to 100 SPAMs a day and it's a web
interface. Those two mean we ignore it. I needed to let the announcement
through last night. I usually look for recent messages stuck when I do that
and let them through if they seem to be real messages.

All it takes are volunteers to make it happen. See tonight's meeting at
Sequoia for details ;-).

What we need to do is get info about what classes are offered. It would be
good to feed people into Thurman's classes, for instance.
