Garden Clubs have traditionally had "round robins". These were groups of
people who sent a collective letter called a robin around in a circuit with
each member adding their observations and sending it along to the next
person on the list. Sometimes the whole thing was published after a period
of time.
I am unsure exactly what the term means in the electronic world. maybe it
means a more specialized group.
John, I like your signature block above! I wonder what would happen if I put
that on a modern survey map....it might wake up some of the stuffed shirt
officialdom in a few of the County Surveyor's offices around here! What fun!
