This posting is made in accordance with the new Jax.PM policy concerning
non-perl related postings;
it is posted with the hope that you may find it beneficial.

I am, as always, open to suggestions for making this PM group better :)

I will be posting a general 'roll call' to see where everyone hails from
again; stay tuned!
