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 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...
