The early hours of the morning GMT, late at night in North America, may be too much to ask of our European friend(s). Let's try for sometime during the day. How about Tuesdays 16:00-17:00 GMT That would be 11:00-12:00 EST (daylight savings gives us GMT-500 now). And I guess JMV is in GMT-600. Any objections? If not, we'll have our first formal meeting Nov 6. Of course, we can meet informally before then. Cheers. Jeff -- J.W.
