[Milsurplus] Hollow State Newsletter

[Barry Hauser]

Hi gang

I set up the web site for HSN.  It's in place but the domain
names have not "propagated" yet.  They should be operational in a day or
two.

As of now, issues 38-53 are up on the site (except 51-52, for which I have
the files and have to scrounge around to find 'em).  I also put up the four
"Best of HSN" compilations that Reid Wheeler, the previous editor, put
together.

I will be back to you with the URL's for it in a day or two -- they don't
work yet as I just today hooked 'em up with Network Solutions.

I have some old copies of the older issues and the plan is to have all the
old issues up on the site.  Some of my copies are not so good -and it's
possible you might have better ones.  Also, I could use a hand getting them
scanned.  So if a few of the listmembers could divvy up the scanning chores,
we could have complete archives sooner rather than later.

Access to old and new issues will be free of charge.  (The old snailmailed
version was at a sub price that barely covered paper, printing and postage,
anyway.)

We will be taking paid ads at very low rates, but not one-shot classifieds
as this has to be, for the time being, a low-maintenance proposition.

New issues will be published on an ad-hoc basis.  We need contributions of
new material, or updates, reprises, etc.  The web site will be much more
flexible so issues can vary in number of pages and contain graphic elements
and color photos.  This was a stumbling block with one or two of the issues
that were in progress before the long hibernation and are yet to be
published.  (I will try to contact the authors to finish those up.)

Again, I'll be back to you with the URL's in a day or two.
