Good Idea! This group is so large, I get discouraged from using just by the volume.
           I am always 'catching up' without reading all the new postings. I am 
           sure I am missing something I'd rather not miss.

I am also 'not too familiar with the process' . But,
would like for someone to get this split done. 

Thanks.
