Newsletter 6
    This is a test. This is a test of the Cod Mailing List Services This isn't only a test. This is also a reminder to those of you (I think you know who you are) who haven't sent in a position suggestion. If you don't turn in a position I will not terminate your membership or do anything else, so you really have no incentive, but, um, you still should. Say, guess what! No, how dare you guess that! You should be ashamed! What you should have guessed is that even the Drama Teacher at my school (I won't mention her name here since she might make me sing on stage or something) is getting involved in the movement. She gave myself and Co-founder Mike a paper describing a book entitled "Cod: a biography of the fish that changed the world"

Yes, that's really the title. It went on to say that the book describes "the explorers, merchants, fishermen, and chefs whose lives have been interwoven with the prolific fish", and that the author "studies the Cod itself: it's personality, habits, and ultimately the tragedy of it's near extinction." I don't know about you, but I'm rather annoyed that they didn't list me as one of the people whose "lives are interwoven with the prolific fish". I mean hey, those merchants probably never neglected their homework to write a newsletter based on the "prolific fish". By the way, if it's so prolific, how in the name of my mismatched socks did it become nearly extinct? I'm no expert, but I bet it has something to do with trousers. Come to think of it, this is an angle I hadn't considered before; the rights of the cod themselves. I think one our prolific members should go out and interview a cod to find out how it feels about being in people trousers. Please don't take any illegal drugs to do this.

I'll withhold the positions thingy until I've had more responses (ahem), and by the way, if you have some message or document you'd like the mailing list FDLFDWCTT members to see mail it to this coollist adress. I'll scan them for content and probably make them available, since I don't know how I can write these newsletters and then criticize someone elses writing. Otherwise just send the messages you'd like integrated into the newsletter or, say, suggesting a position (ahem) to the percepied@hempseed.com address. This wasn't originally going to be a newsletter, just a message, but it turned out to be one anyway. That's kinda like life, but frankly I don't care.
