style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Questions:<br>
<br>
1. In your experience, do kids really use discussion boards? IM seems to be the
tool of choice from what I can see in the middle school world. The primary
audience for sportssmarts is kids--although teachers and parents would be
interested in the discussion board, I am sure, as well as some kids.<br>
<br>
2. Is a database a must for a content rich site? I am scoping the development
costs and it seems this an important determination to make.<br>
<br>
