Thread Topic Volunteers

These volunteers make it all happen and their role is crutial, though the burden upon them need not be great. The volunteer will accept inbound email from interested parties. They do not necessarily have to know much about the subject in question - they need merely sort through replies and format them so that they may be in some reasonable logical order. Duplicate data should be removed. Work should be done in HTML (most web-browsers offer this capability built into their email programs). Updates are then sent to the KGCNA webmaster for posting.
