Subject: [kcimt_mag] Question
For those of you who aren't familiar with listserv emails, let me share a
little. For those of you who are, just ignore this part. Save
kcimt_mag@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <http://kcfd1.kcfd1.com/exchange/training/> to your
contacts and when you want to talk to the Medical Advisory Group, just sent a
message to this email address. If you receive a message from this, just reply
to the email and it will go to everyone. It is kind of like a large email
group that is managed by someone else.
The question is... We are thinking of using this matrix as a public education
tool.
Any issues...
