Hello HistArch list,
Smoke raises an important issue regarding the SHA abstract submission 
process for the 2008 conference. Currently, the company we are using for 
that service is in the the process of transition, so there will be a few 
more weeks of waiting before the online abstract submission will be working.

Of course deadlines will be moved accordingly to accomodate this delay, and 
we apologize for any inconveniences. Have a great day, and Smoke good luck 
with this symposium I will have to come check it out myself.
