[PEN-L:11811] ups and the need for a pen-l web site

[Michael Perelman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am getting very positive feedback about Michael E.'s UPS postings,
plus a couple of complaints about the volume that one individual is
sending.

My feeling is that the UPS strike is an exceptional opportunity.  They
union actually has a chance of winning something -- and with public
support.

Harry Cleaver was doing something similar -- on a smaller scale with
Chiapas, but now he uses the web and his own list -- which is probably
the appropriate way to go.

I do wish that someone had the time and the expertise to create a web
site for pen-l -- so that we could have information such as Michael is
providing in a handier form.

Also, I would like to know if my sample is biased -- if more of you
think that the volume of Michael's postings are burdensome, or if you
appreciate the service he is performing.  I am only raising the question
because 1) it has been posed to me and 2) I would like to know how to
make the list as useful as possible.
