["Michael Phipps" <mphipps1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For what it is worth, most people are also interested in app_server.

Which allows me for a nice segueway (sp?) into something else -

I have asked everyone to send me a quick and easy email (me personally
- mphipps1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) or to the list with their name, qualifications
(brief) and areas of interest. We have had a number of people sign up since 
then,
and I am thinking that the mail will overflow everyone. Would anyone who 
hasn't sent that please send it just to me personally? I will post it on a web
site when we get that far.

Also, please note that I have been in contact with BeFAQs and intend to work
in a very supportive way if at all possible.,
