Hi Steve!

I have to agree - despite the overhead, I think .admin name would confuse newbies (I know it puts me off) something like c.d.o.dba would probably be better

By the by, what happened to having one central group which was automatically crossposted?
That was how they convinced me to vote yes in the original straw
poll, as I only want to look in one place.

Cheers,
Lee
