The last time I tried this announcement, the sites
mentioned ended up being "down" for a week or so
(concidence I presume). So, since a number of people
ended up with file not found errors, here we are again.
"Most" of this material should work.

Following is some information about our site and the
free resources online.

We are doing some small modifications to our sites. Our
flagship site is now
http://members.xoom.com/cooperate/index.htm

At the end of this message is a list of current articles
available in the free articles section. We will probably
be removing some of them, so grab them now.

Finally, we have put up PART II of Conflict
Prevention In The Workplace (the book) in pdf format,
and removed PART I soon. Make sure to get part 2 at
http://members.xoom.com/worknews/index.htm.

We've also added PART I of Defusing Hostile Customers
Workbook. Use http://members.xoom.com/worknews/index.htm
