@Nina I love the new avatar! Big fan of owls here.
In fact we've had a great horned owl in the neighborhood for the last several days. Starts hooting around 10 pm and goes on for a few hours.

@wtg Got it, and thanks.
There's a little tech problem at my end, which may make it impossible to act on my "membership", though. It so, it may at the very least stem from my (long abominable) Yahoo email app. It keeps flipping from one format to another each one with its own liabilities. (For example, some new Yahoo iteration, only allows 25 entries in the Inbox and others, however many have arrived,)
Periodically, though, it offers me the opportunity to switch to the "standard" Yahoo format (as if I ever switched away!), and when I accept, I get back what appear to be unlimited entries again, Inbox and other.
(It also refused to let me get to the calendar - on which I REALLY depend -and also simultaneously refused to let me reach my contacts list on which I also depend. Just adding these examples of uncontrollable glitches, as part of what has really turned into a Yahoo kvetch. HATE YAHOO!)
I know, I know, I should switch to Gmail and indeed I have a gmail account, but as yet I haven't. found a way to port all my thousands of saved old Yahoo emails (inbox, draft, send) which I've been using as a filing system. That is, to the extent it counts since its Search engine scarcely ever works.
(If I could use WORD efficiently for fiiing, I'd never have gotten into this ghastly dependence on Yahoo. Guess I should take some kind of tutorial at our local Business School).
At any rate, thanks to wtg I'm here too, but I can never be certain of being reachable or able to reach out. (Wtg. if I vanish for months, please drop me an email so I can rejoin the crowd, in case Yahoo has flummoxed me again.)

@Piano-Dad Yes, I know how to reach you.
We do have some folks who signed up and who have either never posted or haven't posted in a long time. I don't want to pester them with updates unless they want to be pestered. 
You can choose the option to hide your email address from casual observers, but people with superpowers can see that info. Mostly I just wanted to know who wants to be notified if we have a major outage.
Additionally, a few folks who signed up early might not have had to provide an email address to create a user ID because registration was open and didn't require authorization by an admin or mod. Eventually we locked the door and deleted all the spammers who had signed up while this was the backup site. I just wanted people to check their profile and see if they have an email addy where they can be reached.
