Brettski, I've been meaning to call you regarding how our organization might grow. As you know, a group, or an association, is destined to die if there is no new membership.

I know I speak for rmedgar, Fatty McB., and myself when I say that none of us are comfortable in executing the initiating ritual, or trail (no spelling error there) by fire as it may be, on a prospective future member, especially as we are all members not by choice but by circumstance.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
