I didn't say you were awfully insistant with "Brian's" web space. I said you
were awfully insistant with "other peoples" webspace. You have brought up the
desire for a forum format countless times knowing it would require someone,
anyone, to dedicate webspace.
I still think you can do it yourself and it would have at least some success.
Yes, you have a learning curve and some webspace to purchase but your enthusiasm
for the idea should be very motivating. Don't let my lack of enthusiasm for the
idea stop you.

So I have been "awfully insistent with other people's webspace" after
asking Brian once if he was interested in doing it...

other people's webspace if you don't intend to do it yourself. Brian
is a very nice guy and I can see him doing it but as long as the
Yahoo group is free, I can't see pushing him or anyone to cough up
the space and time to set up a forum.
