I realize that the general membership is separated from the moderators and administrative levels and their closed "board" meetings, and this is Ok...
Ok, Jallen, this time you beat me on the response. :)

are any of these google book sources of use? I am just getting use to using this great source. Not much on attribution, but I got entangled with...
