tedd,
(damnit, Outlook capitalized that for me, and I had to change it
back...)

I believe he is talking about providing such a service. Of course, I've
heard of companies that outsource their entire livelihoods and charge
their own customers out the nose for proxy.

I'm not sure if he's trying to simply determine if a change has been
made or if he is trying to notify people of the particular item that has
been posted.

Clarifications, Ryan?
