Now that we have apo.org, has anyone thought about selling alias addresses
to brothers.  This could be included in sustaining membership package
and/or done separately.  I think it could actually provide funding for
fraternity and would be realatively easy to set-up while providing a
service I believe at least some would use.

I'm sure many of you have seen the iname, bigfoot, pobox (mine), and other
redirecting services that allow user to have a "lifetime" email address.
All mail sent to said address would automatically be forwarded to where
user read mail.  I don't think we want to get in the business of being an
ISP.

An example would be all mail addressed to:
bill@apo.org would goto president@whitehouse.gov

Does this sound interesting to any of you?  Would anyone be interested in
having an address username@apo.org ????  How much would you pay for such a
service... $10/year?  Does anyone know if there are restricting on doing
this type of thing with a .org address?

just a thought....
