I completely understand that you're busy, John. With that in mind, thanks especially for helping me get a foot in the water. I've subscribed to the other mailing list and will start figuring out... everything from there.
In the meantime, if there is a member with the time to serve in the capacity as a mentor I could really use some reading material or direction in order to get started. You may contact me directly at [email protected], as I'd rather not further clutter this mailing list.
