I do most of my work in the background catching spammers and banning persons trying to market all sorts of stuff to this group. I have some welcome help from other moderators (THANKS GUYS!) I seldom post unless I see something in a area where I have a lot of expertise and see a need to lower the confusion level.
As always If you (or others) have further comments you can take them off list and send them directly to the list owners.
