I've been busy preparing for a trip, so haven't devoted the
necessary time to research completely. Upon my return, I will
provide a list which I think might be better. IMO better!!!!
I fully understand the logic behind your current group arrangement.
There are long-term goals involved. The desire is to foster
smaller, regionalised, local focus groups, aiding club formation,
etc. I will take that into consideration.
(I am actually subscribed to this group by e-mail, but won't
have web access, just e-mail. Can I respond with just a
"reply-to?")
