All Members,
I wasn't able to append it to the Forum's Home Page so I uploaded and saved it
as a File. I've marked it to be sent as an attachment to an email to every
member announcing it, sent to every new member when they sign up, and sent to
every member once a month.
We might revisit
I just got the email. It's not an attachment but a link to the .pdf document.
Anyway it will now be sent to all new members when they join - supposedly
anyway...Bill!

Your approach seems good, and practical.
I suppose there is a large weight of comfort in shared tradition, and in
