[Ailist] Lessons From The Field

[Allen or Mary Jensen]

Dear Sue

I am catching up on mail.  Is it possible to offer Lessons From the Field
over the internet and charge a fee?

Let people buy their own copy?  I don't understand quite what the upside and
downside is to internet publishing, but I'm just wondering outloud.

Best regards,

Mary J
