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.... Best regards, Jack L.
