NEWSLETTER
In January 2006 I started an on-line study group for my new book: 'The Click That Teaches: Riding with the Clicker". I set it up as a yahoo email discussion list. If you order the book through my web site, you'll receive an invitation to join. I realize that not everyone has time to keep up with yet another email group, so I'll be putting some of my posts to the lists here. You can also check the "Frequently Asked Questions" section for other posts from the list. If you are new to this section, I suggest you read the posts in chronological order.
To help catch you up to the current posts I have indexed 2006-2008 as separate web pages so they are easy to access in chronological order. You'll want to read all the way to the end for the Tenth Anniversary Message in December 0f 2008. From 2009 on the posts will appear in the Clicker Blog.
I will be updating this section on a regular basis, so do please bookmark this page. Also, please note, I am usually months behind keeping this log updated, so if it the last entry was six months or more in the past just know that is normal and I will eventually get caught up.
