The only error I found:
"You'll see that I left a few things out since Google does
more than simple post your text."
where "simple" s/b "simply"
not too bad, I think.

The problem I see in Outlook 2000 is newsletter formating problem.
It's so corrupted I can't read the newsletter. It may be my fault, it may be your but I don't know where to search :(.

I have to say the greatest error with the latest newsletter is that I never received a copy.

I haven't been getting your newsletters consistently, either.

OK, I got a copy... here goes... these aren't errors, just suggestions for improving the newsletter presentation.
1) Don't use .... and ==== for line separators because they only look nice for people using a monospaced font. In other words, they look good for a total of 27 people in the entire world and only 2 of those people subscribe. ASCII art died with the demise of the monospaced font, and so has layout trimmings such as horizontal lines.
2) Don't tell me how many subscribers you have. If you must, then tell me in the footer that no one reads. I don't care. Tell me only when you reach a hallmark number.
3) Item #1 reads like an e-mail message instead of a newsletter section - and it actually includes your signature file! This is inconsistent with how the other items are presented.
4) After each item number you should list the article title! Right now you waste space saying "A new WebWord.com article is now online:" Put that messy stuff at the end of the item blurb! In fact, do not even intro the URL, just list the URL. I cannot scan through the newsletter when the least important information is given prominence. I first must decide a web page is worth visiting by reading the item name and blurb, not by being shown the URL.
