Keith,
        Regarding the WSFA Journal and Website, the answer is the same as
the last time that you posed this question:  No, neither one of them has
been abandoned.  The latest minutes published on the website are May of
2008, not "June -- of *last year*.)"  In addition, a hard copy of the July
2008 Journal was handed out at the recent First Friday meeting.  If you
like, I can send you a hard copy.  I can also send you soft copies of my
book and movie reviews.  Likewise the "calendar of upcoming events" button
takes you to a web calendar that shows events for August, September,
October, etc. 2008.  I have no idea where you got the idea that "the
calendar of upcoming events hasn't been updated since December" since I know
for a fact that some of the events listed on the web calendar were not
scheduled as of last December.

                Lee Strong
