Might this be the time to think about and suggest "e-clubs" -- this idea has
been quietly brought up before (a couple of years ago) with very mild interest
and -- to my knowledge -- no follow through.   As time goes on, I believe
e-clubs will carry on more and more potential and taker on greater
significance.
We should start thinking about how they could operate and produce contributing
