Thanks to all for making this an active and interesting group in my absence. I hope my absenteeism did not cause too much difficulty.

I did have two messages about some guy posting something and being attacked by someone with a vendetta about their opinion or whatever. Fortunately, it was months or years ago so the annoyance and drama is long gone!

Let me know how I might be of service, assuming there's no system in place for the individuals here to serve themselves.

The main thing that interests me in any management (if any) is to remove totally off-topic posts if the group isn't interested in them.

Example: a post about knitting with no relationship to beer, I'd be interested in removing (and first notifying the originator of the post what I'm doing and why so they have a chance to save their text).

Example 2: If someone posted about cigars, I'd be more likely to keep it as cigars have a known and popular association with beer (at San Francisco Brewing Co. is a perfect example of this relationship).
