The most I have is a year of college and a completed stint in business
school...no actual college degree.

In our case it is taking our hodgepodge collection of books and putting them 
in
an easy to access place. We're going to sort the books by "dewey decimal" 
ike
a real library. The girls are pretty excited about it. The heat in the room
will keep the books from getting that "garage small".
I also have orher motives, such as helping Becca focus on the school work.

I don't know what an email loop is by name, but if you're thinking of a 
ystem
to exchange messages between those of us here locally, it would be real easy 
to
set up an area in one of the local nets such as Auroranet or CHnet. Is that
what you're looking for?
