My first opinion is, isn't this an awfully broad distribution list for 
this question? Seems to me like the relevant-to-interest level would be 
higher on the Webmasters list than on scn at scn.org (awfully broad) and 
the SCNA Board list (awfully narrow). Or, have we changed our list 
structure?

(By the way, according to http://www.scn.org/maillists/scnlists.html we 
have two different lists called webeditors at scn.org and one called 
webeditorss at scn.org. I know we have smart people but I really doubt 
we've found a way for the exact same address to work for two different 
mailing lists. And as for that one that's called webeditorss, it really 
gives me pause; how can I trust editors who can't spell "editors"?)

Back on topic, I would think that a list of local public access Internet 
locations would likely not be something a person would access on so 
regular a basis as to have it a top-level link off the home page. I 
think our top-level categories are descriptive enough that folks can 
figure them out, and I don't think having it at the current one click 
off the top level (two clicks from the home page) is that burdensome. 
I'd advocate also putting the link under Netguide (just because I 
usually think of Help as being help on the system--in this case SCN--as 
opposed to help on the concept of the Internet and how to get access to it).
