[admin] What next.... (MUST READ)

[Carl Summers]

Hi John,
     If you could give me an idea of how much stuff is required to handle
all of these I think I could donate enough equipment to do this.  I have
learned alot from this organization you started and if I couldn't handle it
by myself I'm sure there is enough of us that would pitch in to save
it....thanks
