Re: [ga-abuse] Posting Rights - Six New Mailing Lists

[k@widgital.com (Kristy McKee)]

If something like our links page at www.widgital.net works for everyone, I 
can create a secure area for us to maintain a list in the same fashion this 
weekend probably ... depending on time I would set up security or password 
protect the area.

You're welcome to test our security as long as you PROMISE not to TOUCH 
aat.widgital.net - this is a sensitive project on a NT box (we are 
providing hardware, connectivity, interface, and images - they have a (hee 
hee) VB programmer writing the "software" (hee hee)... but for proof of 
concept only - the product will be created appropriately after the CFO 
finds funding...)
