   Many years ago, back when dinosaurs roamed the newsgroups, some of us set up a   
   critique group based here.  We shared manuscripts by email, rather than on the   
   group, and a couple of published novels resulted.  My SUMMER COUNTRY went   
   through that process,    
   as the dedication indicates . . .   
      
   I don't know if the group still has the population density to set up such a   
   thing again.
