Hmmm.  

Has MEG found any kind of solution for this problem, or are you all
still working on it?  How did MEG manage to get that "HPfGU-elf"
account, and can we do the same thing here?  If someone is willing to
surrender Mod their individual privileges, is it possible to transfer
their privileges to a new Yahoo account?  In other words, if I were
willing to surrender my Mod privileges, could I (and others on this
list) have access to them as "FAQ-member" or something?

Any wisdom you all have learned from your MEG discussions of these
issues would be much appreciated.

I know Yahoo has premium groups -- you pay money and you get . . . I
have no idea what.  Has this been explored?

Finally, here's a heads up.  

Heidi (through FA) hosts the FPs.  Early this year, the Moderator Team
and MEG agreed to pay her annually for the costs.  I think MEG paid
about $60 for this (raised through voluntary donations from MEGs), and
the money was sent over to Heidi in March or so.  The FPs were
actually uploaded right before the second HP movie was released, which
was mid-November, so our funding obligation may be upon us quite soon.

So what are we going to do about this?  First of all, is this a
FAQ-list issue or a MEG issue?

I'm just going by memory, so correct me if I have my facts wrong.  And
I guess we shouldn't assume the costs are still $60, especially since
 Paul advised that the FPs were tremendously popular.
