Yes, thank you.  In that case, I think those who make decisions within MP know me from the lists well enough, that if there is some grunt work, or other aspect that no one else wants to step up to the plate for, I would be more than happy to repay my use of MP by sharing some of that workload.

Just let me know if I am needed, and what I need to do.
