After I posted my message yesterday regarding the history of this list, I received a private email from Catherine asking about the changes in membership totals since the first survey was put out in mid april. Since this might be of interest to members, I decided to respond to the list as a whole. Since that time we have increased by 20 new members as of today. The total now stands at 129 and we still have 1 or two lucky people who are now on vacation, so the total will go up a bit when they return.
