Newsletters of Interest:
I really enjoy newsletters of all kinds. There is something about the informality of newsletters that encourages expression of unique viewpoints. They are the standard mode of communication for organizations too small to have a magazine, at least until we're all connected by the information highway. Also, they mostly lack advertising that I think gets in the way. The information is simply presented and hopefully it is timely. I love to find out about workshops and special lectures and people working to make life better for everyone. Here are a few newsletters I receive or have recently read about. If you know of more that would interest seed analysts, let me know. - Annette Logan (NSSL)
