we are very grateful to you and to the others that report the spam.
EVERY morning, i go to the site where you folks report the spam and i delete it and ban.
today, liz beat me to it. it is like a competition!

yes i do feel like screaming
it is annoying but is part of the job ...(volunteer)

i wish there were something you could do to help.
right now, by reporting the spam you are helping a lot.

i have emailed mr burns with some suggestions and questions and have not heard back from him.
while in aruba last week, i also called the aruba tourism authority to arrange for a meeting to discuss some ideas that i have for the site and situations that need to be resolved. i had to leave a messsage and no one got back to me. (on the 23rd) i went down there, wrote a note and left it with the receptionist on the 24th and 25th) and again, no one got back to me.

i am busy with my job, packing this house and setting up house in maine.
liz is busy with her rebuilding, her other aruba websites/interests.

neither of us though are too busy to take an active role here on this site.

this site is my release!

we (this community) need some attention from its administrators so that it can continue to be the gem of the caribbean boards.

what we need, to start, is the committment from the folks that do this for "pay" (the ata) and their assurance that they will support the volunteers moderators and community board.

after all "it's all about aruba" isn't it?
