OGD,

I'm inclined to agree, since restricted membership doesn't make life 
hard for anyone except the bad guys. We'll lose a few window 
shoppers, but dedicated, fun-loving e-drummers like us won't 
hesitate. Besides, a group with at least a modicum of discipline 
builds character. Just joking. But, seriously, it promotes and 
reflects a certain responsibility to keep things cordial, clean, and 
germane. And nothing is etched in stone; we can change if necessary. 
Let's the three of us exercise this sort of maintenance freely, with 
the assumption that we're on the same page: We reject suspicious-
looking e-mail addresses and explicit spam/porn posts. Like Zilla's 
site, we won't accept advertising per se, though we will be open to 
group members who have relevant services to offer the rest of us, 
like used equipment, discounts on new equipment, etc. It should be 
relatively easy. We also should see to weeding out old or no longer 
relevant files and photos. But we don't have to do it all at once.
