To Britt's comment about how we screen potential members: You are right - we

can complete the subscription process?
It is then up to the moderator to decide, based on their response, if they
are appropriate for the group. We don't call and check on their

This was a new situation and Mike asked the group of moderators for their
feedback before we submitted it to the group at large. This is an active
group and we appreciate your feedback! We've heard you loud and clear!
