Yeh, I say 'somewhat involved' because I've tried to help and to 
contribute but I usually end up getting involved in long, drawn-out, 
pointless flame wars. :) It is somewhat disorganized though, but the 
right person to talk to probably would have been Mary, and I'm guessing 
based on your description she is *not* the one you talked to. :)

Anyway sorry to hear you had a bad experience. :(
