While I typically don't mind my name being used incorrectly (I mean,
look at *any* conversation Bill Walker's ever had with me to see the
very definition of "inaccurate"), I feel complelled to clear this one
up.

Actually, it was, in fact, Tim who started the GOOGLE-GROUP, "Actual
Riders" (big thumbs up), and who is largely responsible for the several
hundred members on-list. The forum you saw was set up as a place holder
while I investigate (and at this point, probably have to code myself)
the software necessary to hook up a forum front end to Google Groups,
for those people that find mailing lists less than user-friendly
(myself included).

I was invited in as a member just like all the current members and I
set up the forums independently of Tim's initial Google Groups set up.

My role in the group is to help with moderation, which I'm happy to say
has been very light given the varying subjects and frequency of posts,
and to administer the actual riders email server, which I host.

So, that should clear that up for you.
