Before I tell you about some new items available through the CAS Web
Site, I wanted to quickly remind everyone about how to remove themselves
from this distribution list. First, DO NOT send a message to the 800+
people on this list saying you want to be removed. Simply follow the
instructions appended to the bottom of EVERY casnet message, that is,
send an e-mail to caslists@lists.casact.org. Type "leave casnet"
(quotes not needed) in the body of the e-mail message. You should
receive a confirmation that you have been removed.

*Reminder: It's not too late to register!
