Yes, that is it very much. Also, no one has volunteered... I admin about two dozen Yahoogroups, answer questions on Yahoo Answers, act as PR/Cruise Director for an in-person club, and hold down a day job. In any case, I'm not an expert in the fields covered here.

Someone did try to start a FAQ in the form of a Wiki. It got roundly criticized and only a couple of us posted anything there.
