Really? When did this process start? Suz appoints the curators last time I
checked, not the groups themselves. I've had quite a few people ask when I am

picked for the high school basketball team....sheesh!

OOOOOOkay.....It doesn't remind me of that at all, but I see your point.

(...) In the end, don't we all want to be happy? Can I *please* stomp on someone else's foot? That'll make me so happy! No? But I said please! There are soooo many newsgroups.
