OBERHEIM SYNTH

I can be a co-owner or moderator. I already take care of about 10 or 
so groups and would be glad to help with this. I watch for the 
spambots and can recognize most of them as soon as they join. If they 
get really bad you can always set the list to moderate new members 
then approve them after several viable posts. This way all the 
knowledge and members in this great group can be preserved.
