Also I really would like to do personalised e-mails if possible. I've found a lot of members are non-technical, and this seems to make them feel intimidated at first, and therefore rather shy... so often we'd get a better response from personal mail on the side, rather than group mail. > Second option (which is a bit nasty) would be to expire each person > and then add them back into the team.

Unfortunately some guys haven't registered with their real names, and they might actually be active members that I just haven't tied to the names I'm familiar with (we're small enough and localised enough to rely on face-to-face meetings a lot!). > Last option would be to go and hunt them down via other means :) Look > them up on the forums and use a bit of common sense to see if it's the > same person.

Unfortunately, once again because of our nationally poor Internet connectivity, a lot of these guys (most in fact) don't even feature on the forums. We're possibly the most "offline" LoCo Team ever :) It's not a huge deal though. As you mentioned, the team is small, so worst case scenario, I'll send out a few messages each day for the next few days :) I just found it a bit odd that the team owner/administrator is limited so strictly on contacting members of the team being administered.
