[WEB4LIB] weaning staff from email to weblog

[Marc Truitt]

Shelley,

Ummm... does it need to be an either-or choice?  Why not leave it to 
them to decide to use the tool that works best for them and their needs. 
  These needs and their choices may vary with individual, time and context.

cheers,

- mt
