Sorry, John, I meant to send that to the list and not to you  
personally.  I keep forgetting that the reply-to header is not set to  
the list.

I will look into what's involved with this and, if it seems  
reasonable, make a proposal.  I've never set up a site with Drupal  
but have used them from the client side.  Seems like it ought to be a  
reasonable option and would take some pressure off.  OTOH it can  
result in too many cooks in the kitchen, so that must be considered  
as well.

I've managed a few Web sites back when I had a server here at home  
and still have a defunct one out on the Web (http:// 
www.andreasenforcongress.org which will show you my KISS tendencies;  
I've also got another at http:www/frostybobs.org but am having  
trouble with GoDaddy's URL forwarding for some reason- it works for  
the other site but not this one- so that site is 404 currently).

CSS is not my strong point, I'd have to refresh my knowledge on this.
