They give good advice. Yes, they do, but they have nothing to do with any groups other than can.*. > Hey - can I screen them too? Sure, if you want to. Rob's doing the job because he volunteered. You'll find that on the net you can take on just about any job you like, so long as you're willing to do the work involved. > Anyone can post what you just did. Big schmeal! So go for it. Don't forget to maintain and post a periodic checkgroups too, as those are useful to those news admins among us. Brian.
