thanks steve.  

Would the person who originally offered the printing supplies send me an
email.  Or could someone post his/her email address so I can make contact.
I know this is asking the impossible, but can we come to a consesus about
Who's going to do the editing.  Since no one else has come forward.  I
assume I'm taking the burden.  But if there are any other opinions please
let me know.  I'd like to start organizational tasks asap.  If I don't
hear any different by the 12th I'll assume I'm it.  But I'd really like to
hear a definate from the publisher.  

   Also I'd like another volunteer to help with the spelling and grammar
editing.  Please post to the list.
 
   For those of you who couldn't care less about this project I suggest
that you just delete any message from Bananafish that has the subject line
"Project: "  in it.  That way we won't get on your nerves.
