Joe: Thanks to you and the others who have responded so far and there has
been encouragement for me to fill the void. Quite frankly, I would prefer
that the FBSD group be ther ones to add such a formal list as one is needed
and it would be best to be under their more qualified auspices. I am not
anxious to do this myself and are of a "wait & see" posture about proceeding.
In the event such a list is not forthcoming from the FBSD group, I have the
facility to host such a list, with my role only as host and not to act as
an expert by any shape or means. I don't need the headaches, just willing
to help if I can....
