[TheForge] ETIQUETTE QUESTION

What I would like to see is a "Projects" area similar to "iForge" on 
Anvilfire.com.  Yes, actually I HAVE offered content (I offered "How-To" 
instructions for a medieval chandelier I made) but later changed my mind 
during the whole ABANA political, "brew-hah-ha" over the expulsion of the 
FABA chapters.  If even half the rumors are true about that incident ABANA 
is not an organization I want to be affiliated with at this time.

BINGO!  This is EXACTLY why I made the comments about timely 
updates.  Since I was unaware that the "want ad" system was able to update 
itself I was concerned that a single webmaster (whom I was assuming was 
probably a volunteer) would be able to keep up.
