[Rockhounds] [ADMIN] About the rockhounds website.

[Kris Rowe]

Yeah, Julie!
                   Thanks for your continuing dedication to the community,
and seemingly endless patience with all of us. I'm looking forward to seeing
what you develop, and I'm sure that it'll shine!
Since you're taking requests for site features, perhaps a "Bio" section
where every (willing!) list member could have a concise (if possible!)
biography for everyone to see. This would make getting to know everyone much
easier in a hobby where there are so many niche & specialty subgroups. In
addition, it could allow each member to indicate if they're open to off list
contacts, and on what terms.

Again, my thanks to you, John and everyone who makes this a great place to
ask questions, and keep current on the geo-world.

Kris
