RE: GSBN:Nominating new members

[Mark Piepkorn duckchow@...]

Hey Bill,

        Ugh. I'm kind of a pain sometimes.

        I think I'm subscribed to GSBN with my potkettleblack 
address, yes? I've found myself unable to actually send email with 
that return-address, so I can't post. (The mail servers I use won't 
allow a return address other than one from their own domain.) I used 
to do it through greenbuilder, but after that laptop meltdown last 
winter I couldn't remember the settings. (You'd think I would have 
backed them up.) Anyway, can you change my GSBN subscription address 
to duckchow@gmail.com? Or, if you want me traipsing mail through your 
server, I'll need to be reminded of the settings.

        Also, chances are good that you have a huge wad of 
uncollected spam in my name somewhere over there...

        This is what I mean to post:

Fireman's Fund may be an insurance company to watch with some hope. 
Last week they introduced customizable coverage for commercial green 
buildings: "In response to commercial real estate's green building 
movement evolving from the benefits to the environment and building 
owner's bottom line, Fireman's Fund Insurance Company today announced 
Certified Green Building Replacement and Green Upgrade coverages."

This may be the beginning of the sort of insurance reform St. 
Eisenberg has been nudging along the past several years. Let's hope 
it spreads to residential coverage soon.
