All,
If you track the membership number at the bottom of the home page, you may notice that we've dumped about 700 members.
This action was taken as routine maintenance and part of the spam prevention effort. The 700 names that were removed consisted entirely of individuals who:
1. Have not logged on in the past 12 months;
2. Registered at least 12 months ago and never responded to the e-mail confirmation that is required to begin posting;
3. Had little or no activity after their initial registration date;
4. Have never posted a message on the site.
It's possible that we have inadvertently removed a few individuals who have business being here and who want to be here. I consider this chance remote, since -- again -- none of the registrants who were deleted have been active visitors in the past year. At the same time, if there is anyone who falls into this category, please feel free to re-register.
Thanks. Let me know if there are any questions.
