Absolutely.  It must NOT become an Erik-job.

Beginners
Plants and culture (I'd be willing to do this one)
Aquascaping
High Tech
Chemistry
AGA/members news
Chit chat (knowing Scott, he could come up with a clever name<g>)
Paludariums?
Marine plants? (draw Tom Barr in?)
Members' photo gallery?

I wonder if David could run it by his lawyer friend who helped with the
incorporation/non-profit stuff?  Another possibility would be Steve Dixon.

Maybe we should ask him whether he's just offering to host the forum, or if
he'd moderate it too?  He'd have a vested interest in keeping things civil
and legal... Mark got sued right along with Cynthia with the Petswarehouse
thing.

I'd be willing to take on a section, but not the whole thing.  And not the
beginners section... I've done my share of that.<g>
