My grandpa's name was Bob, a bit of a family name. There are a ton of Hogue's 
about an hour northeast of Youngstown in the Oil City. If we're related, it's 
distant :-)

I understand the busy part. However, you don't have to have the technology 
expertise. I heavily rely on our knowledgeable members to present. I mostly 
just coordinate the meetings (sometimes better than others :-)

Yah... good idea. We would have to setup another host. pm.org doesn't support 
cgi, just flat html. There are a couple of perl based forumns already written 
out there. We certainly could extend one of those implementations (it's almost 
always easier to extend than write from scratch).

BTW, Charles, can you send me and Leonard the columbus.pm.org login info? We 
would like to make some changes as well.... 

Anybody have some server space they'd like to donate towards hosting the cgi 
for our pm site? ie, a forumn?
