Already being considered, Don, but thanks for the suggestion.  As this
is a non-commercial venture (read: hobby), I'm in no real rush to get
high levels of traffic to the site- especially if the cost involved in
doing so would outweigh the benefits of having the board.  (By the way-
your full article did not get posted on deja.com, so if I'm
misrepresenting you, let me know.)

Great idea!  This might just be the solution I'm looking for, as it's a
bit of overkill to use a full domain hosting service.
