RE: HPS HomePage

["Kleck, Jeff" <JKleck@OS.Varian.COM>]

Setting up a Home Page, as you may know, takes time, effort, and some real 
planning. I know, because I've been involved with groups that have done it 
the right way and the wrong way. Also, this is not the kind of job that 
should be left to the discretion of any particular member of our society. 
Rather, I suggest that the HPS reconsider, and hire a professional to do the 
job. I think our society has a reputation for being excessively frugal, and 
I do not know of a single instance in which it has benefited its members. 
Also, the server should be located and supported at HPS headquarters, not at 
a member's institution.

Incidentally, I get the impression that our leadership is not aware of the 
importance of the internet, that, in fact, it recently grew by 1/3 in the 
course of a single month. That the needed public awareness and direct public 
communication our profession has touted for so many years is right here, and 
right now. Get with it!

        Dear RadSafers:

        Marvin Goldman, President of the HPS, is looking for anyone who
        would be interested in setting up a HomePage for the HPS.  If you
        have the time to donate and access to a http server on which to
        post the page, please contact me either via email or phone/fax.
