I don't see the need for all the other "social networking" bells and 
whistles for this group. I don't know that I want a Technet clone of
Facebook. Personally, I bear a fine resemblence to Jabba the Hutt, so
photographs do me no favors. And then there is Dewey...................

With the valuable service that Steve Gregory provides for posting photos,
I think we are fine with what we have.

Perhaps Steve Gregory has room on his page for photos...

Kim,

I would like to see photos and bios of our "team" but I also like the
ease of use of our present interface.

If there's a happy medium to be found, I'd vote for that.

Sorry, but I haven't had the time to check out the links below.

Leland
