Josh, it's been a while since I contributed, and I apologize for that.

As for your mom's fight with cancer, you have my best wishes. It was two years ago on Saturday (the 24th) that my mom lost her battle with Leukemia. I know what you're both going through and you have my thoughts and prayers.

I have done newsletters for three different car clubs, two of which are defunct. The comparison between the newletters and the web site are minimal, but the effort that goes into maintaining a web site, or that which goes into a 4-page monthly newsletter is something that few really understand. Yet, criticism is always abundant.....being unable to please everyone all the time. I know how you feel, and then again, I don't. I do well to maintain my home computer and have not one clue as to how to maintain a web site.

I used to visit another message board that was oriented toward foreign cars. The age group that was the primary focus group was much younger than me, and there was very little control, or very little that was done to control, the language and the inuendos that were rampant. When trying to maintain a family atmosphere, it is just very difficult to monitor everything. Having numerous moderators seems to be one way to spread out the duties, ala the Tundra board that some on here also belong to.

But, basically, your needs to assist your mom, to go to school and to study to avoid wasting your college funds....all adds up to a big plate of responsibility.

I'll ante up the membership.
