[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Big thanks to Mike for taking on the hosting requirements for the list 
and website!  The Amazon selection was a good option since we needed 
something free or low-cost but would still cover the needs of the group.

There may still be a few gremlins to roust, so be patient while Mike 
works on those in his spare time.  Please post any unusual events to the 
list so they can be tracked and addressed as time allows.

Huzzah!

Cheers!
