Subject: Great Expectations?

Hey gang, we have a very cool opporTOONity coming our way.

Member Paul Elsmore is thinking about a "sabatical" re: his fine Ring:
APCA, see links on my home page or on our ORGS page at IN.

He was one of our first members and has asked me to consider taking 
over the reins at APCA.

Remember how young we are here with less than a hundert members so 
far.
Paul has almost 400 in his group.

I can do several things, some of which may be more popular than 
others, so I am asking for a show of hands re. the following options.

1. I can continue in his stead, maintaining as best I can the dual 
websites of APCA and IMAGINE NATIONS, either at their respective 
servers or moving his site to my server.

2. I can cross-link them on the NAV bar (but there is already a link 
to them on our ORGS page.

3. Or I can try to blend their features and membership into a larger 
whole, focusing not only my energies, but the focus of the entire 
group as it grows.

Paul has many excellent features on his site that I never tried to 
duplicate -- and they would make an excellent addition to our own.

Whatever I do will be done with an eye to honoring his incredble 
efforts on our behalf over the years.

I guess my real question/concern is how will each group feel about a 
sudden addition of so many members on either side?
We have been very intimate from our humble beginnings.
I don't want anyone to feel lost.

I only have so many hours in the day to promote you.
I don't want to let either you or Paul down.

Please feel free to share your thots here or in private at 
ThatJoeGuy@aol.com 

We will be chatting via phone tomorrow afternoon to work out the 
details.

The more the merrier!

Your Joe Guy
