James,

From my understanding Jon sometimes will wait to process a few of
them together. The other consideration at the moment is that everyone
is renewing there membership at this time as well so it might take a
little longer than normal to get everything done. I have found that
most of the time it is turned around pretty quickly "within a matter
of a week" but Jon is the expert on this one.

I agree with your comment about participation and hope to get us more
involved this year. I hve been so busy with business that I have not
had time to be creative but will make a conscious effort or maybe a
subconscious one would be more effective ;-).

There are some really experienced members here and you will find that
we answer the questions just that it could take a day or two if we
are traveling or working. We also sometimes get so comfortable with
everyone that we forget that there are some new members that would
appreciate the networking and stimulation.

Welcome to the IHF Forum my friend and peer. It is a pleasure to meet
you and thanks for sharing your questions.
