Yea - well - while you're all discussing the flavour of vanilla you'd like,
in the meantime take the spf.pobox.com website *down* to prevent spreading
*more* alarm and confusion....

That's fine... and I *DO* get what you are saying. But this is not the
only way to allow more than one person to work on the web site. A number

Perhaps Wiki could be used for pieces of the site... maybe the FAQ or
something perhaps...?
