I just wanted to throw in my two bits as well:

I think the moderator team is doing a fine job creating order in a 
group that is growing by leaps and bounds every day. I appreciate what 
you guys have done, and if I can help out in any way, let me know. I 
too have a life, but if I can help lessen your work load, I would love 
to pitch in.

One point I want to make on the subject of "friendliness": It is 
ALWAYS easier to get to know people and to get a response to your 
message when a group is fairly modest in size and everyone is new. 
Joining a group has been growign this fast (when even us oldies are 
struggling to keep up with everything that is being discussed and 
every new face that pops in) can be really daunting. It is like coming 
to a party late after everyone has already been hanging out and 
talking, and has chosen their dance partners for the evening. It is 
hard to stand out or to find a way in. I don't think it is fair to 
call this "unfriendliness". Have faith and keep at it-- you WILL find 
your niche!!

I love this group. It is lovely to know that there are 1100 other 
people out there who are as obsessed as I am!!
