You do know that when the list got really going a couple of years ago
I contacted the BB. They weren't interested - saying they know nothing
about the Internet and that's that. Soon afterwards they published an
article saying that any secretaries wanting to publish their e-mail address
in the BB would have to take out an advert - a flagrant difference over the
change of contact policy for postal addresses. I suspect that this policy
has changed, it was unworkable anyway. You remember of course the difference
in attitude between them and BBW over the Cyber Cafe meeting/broadcast a
couple of years ago.

I've all but given up trying to work with the BB. I still buy it - but only
for the adverts in the back. Even they are becoming irrelavant as we run our
own vacancies page and concerts are often advertised here.

They know my e-mail address, and from there my `phone number, should they
wish to disuss joining forces. As far as I am aware no British journalist
is on the list, contrast this with Chris Earl in Australia.
