Both you and David are doing (with Westweb) what a true community internet
service provider should do... none in Montreal are really doing it as it
takes a full time interest in just getting the info posted in a timely
manner... I'm absolutely convinced that people want that "local" connection
to "local" information...as I tell people here LaurentianWeb is nothing but
a local community paper for the english in the laurentians.
We ended up with 14,443 hits for November... quite amazing. I'd like to see
you get more traffic too...you are doing the right thing David but I have a
suspicious feeling that the demographics of Westmount are particularly not
computer oriented...oh yes...the kids are on like crazy playing opn
battlenet and other interactive sites but the white male 45 plus in
Westmount is probably technophobic... Gotta get these guys onboard...they
still believe it doesn't matter.

Dear David & Diana:
Josh Freed's article on page A2 of Saturday's
Gazette & the Gazette editorial during the
week are the first positive reports on Montreal
conditions in a long time from the Anglophone
press They refute to a large extent the National
Geographic article on the Quebec situation.
Maybe at some time in the future our children
will return.
Your Web site is really fantastic and most
impressive. It is most informative not only
about Wednesday nights, but also what is happening
in Westmount and its environs as well as the world.
Keep up the good work. It is much appreciated.

Dear Diana and David,
I have finally done it! Your Westweb is now the
start page on my Bowser.
It is a wonderful way to start an internet session.
All the information one would need is right there:
for serious work, for the children and just for the
heck of it. I have given your address to all my out
of town friends and the verdict is unanimous: it is
the closest thing to living in Westmount and Montreal
on the net.
Thank you for my start page,

Dear David,
Thanks for the plug on the Couch home page. There were several
articles on Couch while we were there,
interestngly enough, the journalists still see it
as a significant forum for independent and
uncensored thinking. I am always amazed anew at
just how stimulating the Couch experiance is, even
in this period of jaded journalism and abdication
of individuality. We think, therfore we are, but
more importently, because we are selfaware, we may
continue to think..world without end, to the last
sylable of recorded time . MML

.....your web page and I have to admit that I was
overwelmed. So much to choose from and most of it
seems to point to I hesitated to get into any of it for fear that I would be inundated
with a still greater choice. Where do you find the
time to do all that? I am not sure where I can put
a link from the Montreal West site
(www.mowest.org) to the Westmount site. I think
its a great idea though. I wonder how many other
MUC municipalities have sites. It might be
interesting to see if we can do a link "pooling".
We are getting hits rom ex residents all over
Canada and Italy (losa Italians used live a
Montreal West). One old guy, who e-mailed via a
nephew, was pissed off that we didn't have a
decent street map of the community so that he
could show his nices and nephews (regular and
grand) exactly where he lived! We are correcting
that oversite. Another ex resident, now
permanently resident in Japan, uses the TMW site
to show her school class what "life in Montreal"
is all about. Oh yes, you may be interested in
taking a look at a site 'www.iadc.com',which is
another site I did. I also have an interest in the
company. Cheers Hugh J. Upton Air-Stop

Subject: Your site Your have a very interesting
site. It is important that as Internet develops it
does so on a human scale. You are part of the
pioneering! Of course we will have to wait until
people have Internet access at home (the box on
the TV?) for it to be really powerful. Meantime,
we have special problems of communicating in
Westmount and I give a lot of my time to
attempting to overcome them. I wish that the
recent city newspaper (Rapport) hadn't been
necessary; but it was needed and has been a
worthwhile effort. We now have to do something
with greater depth and produced with short
deadlines. The page of Brian Puddington (and the appropriate Gazette extracts) is part of what I
mean. As we move forward, we must keep in mind how
awful the local papers are in many other Quebec
towns. Let's aim is to transfer some of our
community spirit and integrity to such places.
Access to the Internet will help. Don Wedge,

Wow! Your Westmount web page really knocked
my socks off! Impressive! I was especially struck by the
page's "personal" touch. (easy access to the meeting's notes)
The colour, displays are clear. Barring a typo, it's super!
I'll try my best to get at some articles for the site, but
rarely do I surf the net. It's more likely that I'll receive
lawyer-jokes from friends abroad than receive a letter on
Canada's competitive status in a global economy..'know what I

a result, however, even with a 28.8 modem, it loads very
slowly... I have to admit, I have never seen such intricate
graphics on the net...bravo! Thanks for the tip. I will
bookmark the site, and check it regularly. How about a salon
listing? Discretion could be maintained by leaving out
references to location.
