Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

This is a great start! Maybe to keep it readable, someone can adopt 
the role of collecting the bugs and pasting them into a file posted 
in the groups file folder?  The group can post new problems in the 
messages with bug somewhere in the message title and the bug 
description in the subject? This allows everyone to contribute, and 
maintains the readability with a single editor? The subject line is 
very important to ease the scanning for new bugs, so that none are 
buried in a message with a "normal" subject title. I would be willing 
to serve as the editor role...maybe not for life, but at least for 
the foreseeable future.
