The News from ElephantToenails.com

As you know I always solicit and welcome your feedback on both The News and ET.com. We have just completed our first-ever online ET.com survey of the membership and even though folks don’t like to fill them out and The News is still relatively new- we got a good response. And I thought you might want to see what you as a group said. I intend to use this feedback as I develop the site’s content and postings, at least for this next quarter. Thanks again for taking the time to help! SK
