Thanks to all who have responded to our release about the new booklet, =
Beyond the Last Fencerow.

I made a little mistake that I hope inconveniences no-one. You see, =
that release was written for a different audience, medium and purpose, =
then just copied onto the SANet board without any consideration given to =
how its meaning is changed by putting it before a different audience in =
a different medium.

Specifically, we intended to offer a free copy of the booklet to any =
member of the press interested enough in the issue to write about it. =
One book, used this way, could enlighten hundreds of thousands of =
people. We also wanted to get it to policymakers, legislators and =
educators.

Trouble is, my message is probably now flying around cyberspace and =
landing goodness knows where, with an offer to send a book to the =
recipient, whoever he or she may be. I would love to be able to send a =
booklet to everyone who wants one, but it's possible that we may have to =
prioritize, given that we have only a few thousand. (It's also possible =
that overwhelming demand might motivate someone to fund a second =
printing.)

If you have sent the booklet announcement to other places, please send =
this along too. Thanks, everyone.

Living and learning...
