Since this wasn't even a blip on the radar in Sartre, I'll ask here.
Where do the local 'istas lists live? Is there a Chicago/Midwest one? What is involved in creating/maintaining one?
Time for some thrilling heroics.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think there was a tiny, tiny blip.
Gus said something about having a list. Or he used to have one. He wants midwesterners to email him their addresses.
How do the email lists work anyway? Is this the thing where a member just emails one specific address, and a server then forwards it to all the members?

Oh, and are the developer folks still looking for someone to do some SQL coding? Because I'd be willing to do that.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yup. That's it exactly.

Where is that? I looked thru Buffista Links and didn't find anything.

There is no link. ita or Tom Scola have to set the list up. If someone from Chicago wants to volunteer to administer it once it's set up, then just sing out.

Is Gus already doing this? Or is he just collecting addresses? Or is what he's doing superfluous?

I think Gus said he was just gathering addresses.

Well, yeah, sort of. As of an hour or so ago he had a list consisting of me.
We could just do that. Should I post in Press Beep Me that folks should e- Gus? Or ask Gus to, so his profile addy will be easier to find?
