Dear Readers,

The folks on the editing/posting team add our congratulations to the well
deserved recognition of Frank, whom we have all learned to recognize for
his careful and plentiful posts to editor@mapinc.org The announcement may
be read at:

If you would like to add personal congratulations to Frank, I am sure a
visit to his website at:
http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby/7417/
would be appreciated. Please sign his guest book.

Or you may like to chat with Frank, who can usually be found visiting in
the MAP CHAT room on Saturday and Sunday evenings. Point your web browser to:

http://www.mapinc.org/chat/

And join the discussion. The chat starts at about 9:00 p.m on Saturday and
Sunday night Eastern time. Folks drop in and leave as their time allows
over about a three hour period.

Someone asked, "Will you be recognizing other volunteers?" Yes, in the
months ahead. There are many super newshawks who deserve recognition. We
hope to recognize them all, as well as other great volunteers in this effort.

Just so that nobody thinks simply sending huge quantities of news to
editor@mapinc.org results in recognition, we look carefully not just at
quantity, but also quality. We a good share of our time trying to make
useable articles out of items which, with just a little more following of
our guidelines, would be easy to post. The guidelines are at:

So on behalf of the editing/posting team, thank you Frank, and thank you
Newshawks! for all that you do!
