I exchanged a few emails with Martie's webmaster. I wanted to make sure
that Martie and others knew about the newsgroup.  He told me the group
will probably be checked out periodically by folks at the show but that
they most likely won't be participating as they don't want this to be a
forum for dispensing medical/nutritional advice.  but we are definitely
encouraged to grow the group and continue the chat.  Anyway, have a
nice weekend.  More later.
