Hi Blake

Go to www.common.org, then click on the Community tab there - I don't 
know about the link you tried - this one works and is the place to go.

I hear you on possible concerns - but someone else said, it never hurts 
to ask - if they say no, you've not lost anything you didn't have 
before. Except maybe a little time!!

Regards
Vern
