<g> Both actually. Their more, err, spirited mode of expression can 
wear on the nerves after a while, but they really are good sorts in

Nah seriously, they're a pretty cool gang once you get to know them. 
And as a matter of fact, that group’s taught me a number of useful 
stuff, such as that it's ok to disagree with people. And that very 
few things are worth really get worked up about, but enthusiasm still 
makes things interesting. And that when it comes right down to it, 
ah, just cool it, man. Like, no worries, ya know? I can't think of 
any serious disagreement (even the ones containing those quotes) that 
ended in tears rather than giggles. In fact, the giggles are always 
forthcoming.

Amanda made it clear that she was speaking in her personal capacity. 
If she had indeed been representing MEG, I certainly would not have 
had any objections to complying with her rules. I really do 
appreciate the time and energy the Admin team put into keeping this 
group going, and naturally I couldn't agree more with you, Sandy: 
HPFGU rocks! :-)
