I haven't had a chance to chime in on this yet, but would like to thank Mike and all of the members of the committee for a job well done.

Regarding hours spent on the web site, Mike's suggestion of "from 8 to 24 hours a month" sounds like a better wording to me, too, although there may be times when more time is necessary. Haven't read all the emails yet, so I may have a slight change of mind later on.
