Discuss: no e-mail addrs in the weblog?

[Aaron DaMommio]

Anne,
What if, with every membership report, you separated out the first (very 
short) paragraph of general info, for explicit use in the weblog? And 
reported the prior month's membership as well?

Something like this:

===For weblog===
In December, the membership increased to 223 from a November total of 
213. The STC as a whole has 17176 members.
===For contacting new members====
....e-mail details...
