Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Namaste group, I'm one of the silent members of Om Ganesh who sits in the shadows and enjoys the many wonderful posts that are shared here. Now, forgive me if this is a repost, but I find it difficult to keep track of all the postings and links.
