[75] Re: Web Site Suggestion

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

I was thinking it could be nice to have a world map with lots of little

varied the entries were within large countries too). Maybe this would work
too. I'm still getting stragglers and waiting on checks, so I don't want
to do any updates yet.
