[seek-logistics] poster printing

[Deana Pennington]

Minor retraction - Matt pointed out to me that it's not very efficient 
to try to send posters through e-mail.  Please put your posters in cvs 
as he requested (see note below), then send an e-mail to Marsh to tell 
him it's there.  He'll be able to get to it from the website.

note:  check your posters into CVS in seek/docs/site-review-2006 using 
the naming format "poster-subgroup.ppt"

Thanks,
Deana
