[Joseph Puentes <makas@...>]

A very big thank you to Elvira Zavala-Patton for forwarding me this information. I haven't gotten much past the registration
which is a two part process. First fill in the registration page, then login then fill out another questionaire. I'm sure 
there are large Gold Nuggets on this site and just wanted to quickly let you all know about it. Thanks Elvira.
