As of this moment there are only 326 members in the google group because the bulk of the invitations did not get approved and sent by Google until about 24 hours ago. There were only 100 or so members two days ago. We still have 1364 open invitations out that have not been acted on. I suspect that the new group will have half the number of members or less because over the last eight years many people who lost interest simply cut off the email and completely forgot about the group, rather than unsubscribing. ----- Original Message -----
