hello nicole, i ´m the owner of this little group. yes...

i decided to keep this group open for everyone to join up, because
it ´s easier for everyone to join and i don ´t have the time to check
every join request. everytime when i sign in via yahoo i check for
spam, and i ban those stupid persons and delete the spam messages...

however when anybody thinks it could be done better and want, check
every join request for example, we could do change the ownership if
this is possible. i have no problem with this. in the past, i just
wanted to create a group for oberheim gear, because there were no
active groups anymore...
