Re: Problems with GroupStudy

 Paul,

I thought it was just a way of telling the rest of us to all take some
time off! ;) I hope you got to enjoy your vacation and not be
inundated with messages/voicemails along the way!

Karma always does things at the least opportune times, but as a free
service, I think it's good to keep perspective on stuff.

You're doing a wonderful job! And if you need/want help with things
even as far as equipment/whatever, I'm sure there are plenty around here
who would be more than willing to help out! I'm certainly one!
