Re: reinvite or re-invite?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

If I'm not sure about a term when I already know the context of its proposed 
use, that generally tells me that I want to avoid it even if it is correct.  Put 
me down as a vote for revising the text to say something like "invite again," or 
"repeat invitation."
