I hope that I don't disappoint you when I say:
1. I am not in the ham radio or network "business"
2. all work that I do is for free, including
admin duties of 3 servers, web development,
mailing list administration, etc
I have worked in computer business in the past,
but I voluntarily perform these duties as required
by the amateur community. I just do what is needed
and don't have a job description or union steward.
I have been looking for a volunteer to take over
for some time and I thought you had volunteered.
I did not realize this was merely Monday Afternoon
Quarterbacking.
73, Brian
