Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm interested in keeping this a
very friendly group. On the other hand, I will be happy when our FAQs
are done, and it's just a matter of sending a post that says "See this
URL for a Club FAQ on that topic."

The other thing I'm hoping is that people will start to use the Message
Archives that Smitster kindly set up for us. We're going to spotlight
that link more prominently on the Club homepage.

And, finally, I hope the egroups/Yahoo merger will result in the ability
for an automatic introductory letter to be sent to new members. I
envision that introductory letter being very clear about where our FAQs
are located. I really believe these FAQs are going to be a great thing
for the Club. We're hard at work on them by the way. <g>
