What we appear to have is a group of individuals doing there own thing on there own schedule. I would venture a guess that there are between 50 - 100 people subscribed to this list, but I can count on one hand the regular posters. I sent out requests months ago for people to proofread pages that I had made major revisions to and nobody replied and certainly nobody looked at the pages. I truly hope that the effort can be revived and re-structured. Hopefully after a hiatus I will feel more ready to to again take on the role of Don Quixote and sally fourth.
