Hi Amanda,

coblist software. I'd like to post the following, but can't; care to forward 
it for me?

        Thanks!

Hi,
I have about 1,000 bundles of good domestic roof reed-phragmites - cut in 
Newburyport and ready to sell at $5./b., each good for one square foot of 
roof. I hope to interest nat build folks with it for thatched roofs on straw 
and now i've got the last bugs worked out of my harvester i hope to cut much 
more this winter. I'll be glad to teach what i know about thatching based on 
the ten or so roofs i've done and i also have a line on baled phrag which 
may be fun to try building with. I wonder if you might be able to help me 
get the word out?

thanks,
