Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that I've responded to David from the Hartford
IMC. We're going to connect on the phone. That way we'll be able to find
out a bit more about the Hartford IMC group and they'll be able to ask me
any questions about the indymedia network. I'll keep everyone up to date.
