[Imc-alternatives] znet site

[sheri at speakeasy.net]

hi,

i checked in with michael albert of znet and he said that things should be ready to check out tomorrow via the zmag site.  he also said the delays were causing him some headaches.  i think this is just part of the way of developing websites like this. 

thanks for the tip aaron and welcome!

so we should be able to check it out soon.

sheri
