If you're really interested here (and you ARE part of our community),
document your experiences in a manner that can help others. We'll be
most pleased to post them on the website. I even have our tech writer
ready to assist with things like grammar and spelling, so you don't have
to be another "Tom Clancy" to get published <GRIN>!
