Hi everyone --

Looks like more & more of us are migrating over to egroups.  I think 
this is going to work very well.  Several things --

1.  I just made Melanie a co-Moderator as she was with Yahoo.  

2.  Smitster (Paul) pointed out to me that the default egroups
setting 
is to only allow 100 messages per group per day.  Something to do
with 
spamming.  This can be increased by contacting Customer Support, and
I 
have contacted them.  But, it may be 1-2 days before they get it 
changed.  So, some of the messages that people post later today may 
get moved to tomorrow?  I'm not sure.  I don't know if they just die 
or if they go into a queue & get sent tomorrow.  

3.  Smitster is also working hard to get all our Yahoo messages 
archived at a separate egroups site.  It's not created yet, and we'll 
let you know when it's ready for access.  You will be able to go
there 
& search the old messages but it won't allow anyone to post anything 
new there.  

4.  You may notice that I've added some legal mumbo-jumbo to the
group 
description since yesterday.  Heidi & I (both lawyers) had been 
discussing the need to have this language so that we can create the 
FAQs.  We also thought we needed it over on Yahoo and were about to 
discuss the issue when we made the call to move over here.  We needed 
it even more at Yahoo because we needed to be able to legally move
the 
messages over from Yahoo to a separate site.  Hopefully, noone will 
have any real concerns with this, but if you do, Heidi stands at the 
ready to answer your questions.  

Sidenote to Melanie -- Heidi & I will email you something to house at 
the Club FAQs section.  These pages will need some modification also 
to reflect that we're no longer a Yahoo Club.  Whenever you have time 
though.  

5.  Dee (GypsyCaine) -- I have a favor to ask.  Please turn off your 
email feature that causes me to have to send you a message everytime
I 
open one of your messages.  Please.  Thanks.  <g>  Some of your 
messages are also coming through in some weird format, but that may
be 
something to do with my browser.  Is anyone else having difficulty 
reading Dee's messages?  

Okay, I think that's all the admin stuff for the moment.  It may take 
awhile to get everything organized, but I think  this will be a
better 
place for us to be.
