Greetings!

The February - March 2002  issue of CRUFFLER.COM  (
http://www.cruffler.com ) is out and available for your reading
pleasure!  Please accept our apologies for being somewhat late.
However, important behind the scenes chanes have been taking place that
should make your CRUFFLER.COM experience even more enjoyable.
Specifically:

WEB SERVER:  We've changed servers three times in the last three weeks,
and we're (finally) at our new home.  With any luck, the result will be
faster, more efficient service for you, the readers.

PUBLISHING FREQUENCY:  We've opted to go to a bi-monthly format.  Many
of you have written to tell us how, given the constraints of work,
family, and life in general, it's difficult to find the online time to
go through an entire issue in a month.  Each issue will now be "front
page" for two months at a time.

PAYPAL:  We are now a business member of PayPal and can process credit
card payments at will.

CONTENT:  Hand in hand with the expanded publishing frequency, we're
expanding the feature article content of each issue, beginning with the
April - May 2002 issue.   We're not going to spill the beans now, but we

think you'll be pleased with the additional content!

LOGO ITEMS:  We're pleased to announce the impending sale of
CRUFFLER.COM logo items such as denim work shirts, t-shirts, and mugs.

SALES:  We'll be hosting an electronic catalog, with payment options
including PayPal for firearms and accessories for sale both by
CRUFFLER.COM and by private sellers wishing to publicize their
offerings. If you're interested in posting your items for sale on
CRUFFLER.COM, please let us know and we can discuss terms and
conditions.
