Brian, I really like the new snazzier look to the newsletter. I must admit when I first heard of your email newsletter idea I thought to myself -- why is that necessary when I visit TUG so frequently?
But I've since noticed that when I get busy I don't always catch all the threads on TUG and one or two highlighted items each week were actually "news" to me. Also, I enjoy seeing the latest resort reviews links each week -- it is so convenient for those of us who don't think to look for new reviews in each geographic area all the time. And the additional exposure via "latest," "about to expire," and other Marketplace listings in the newsletter really provides added value for TUGgers who use the Marketplace for ads. I now think the newsletter is a very nice addition and complements the TUG site very well.
