It only takes me < 1 minute to review the moderated posts, so I can usually get to that once a day.

You bet, good idea! I'd be more than happy to share the admin password for the mailing list with a few people to give more prompt response. Be a good idea anyway, in case problems arise when I'm vacationing. So Chris, you volunteering :) Anyone else interested? Bruce |
