I just thought I should drop a short note to say that we've been getting lots of applications for the technical writing position, and that several of them look very good (especially since I discovered a mailing list decicated to technical writing with no less than 900 professional who all obviously had some prior LISTSERV experience ;-) ). So from now on it is just a matter of time. We haven't selected a candidate yet, but we're not worried any longer about not finding someone with both writing and LISTSERV skills. Eric
