SOFTT - Are you an obsessed female toy collector? Join SOFTT! Here's the details, as provided by Jo Bond (Malond@aol.com):

Hi, all, and thanks for waiting for me to respond about SOFTT. In a nutshell, we're a bunch of women who found each other through RTA-F, and we've organized a little group. We've traded like crazy, gone on shopping sprees, shared lots of customizing info, and really just become good friends. So now we're seeing if other women want to join. We want to see if, besides comradery and toy trading, we can maybe have an impact on the industry as the minority that we are (oof!).

I've written a FAQ and a sign-up sheet, which can be found at: http://www.softt.org/faq.html.

Aries is our web page master right now, and she's still doing a lot of tweaking. So let me know if you have any problems with the form or the FAQ!

Talk to you soon,
-Jo
