Steve:  Totally agreed on fun, informative, community building.  Like Whose Line Is It Anyway, "the show where everything's made up and the points don't matter."  Disagreed on hassle for the tech people.  But we're volunteers, and why volunteer unless you enjoy being hassled?  I added a column to the roster, and for now people can send me their date. (to surfski@...)  We'll have to figure out how to collect it during the renewal process.
