[Tfug] [tcslst] Folding Team Anniversary (fwd)

[erich]

Anthony,
     
      First of all. It's an interesting project, and can contribute to
all of human society.

      If more TFUG members want to do it, it may gain us some favorable
publicity. Is that what Tucson Computing Society is in it for? Is that
what we want? Positive publicity? (Others chime in please.)

                                                           Cheers,
                                                           Erich
