[Peace-discuss] AWARE and Green Party in the 4th of July parade! signmaking on Wednesday and Friday

[Stuart Levy]

FY(everybody)I- When making announcements where discussion is likely, I've often sent them To: peace-discuss with a Bcc: to the peace list, so people won't be tempted to reply to peace.   That's what I did this time, too.
