I may be a Marylander, but I'm not a Baltimoron!
The Wire might have popularized "Bodymore, Murderland," a bit unfairly. But only a bit.
More to the point - I looked at the Google group link and it seemed like I needed a Gmail account to join. I don't want to go on the Google grid just for that. Is there some way around that? Or can we keep discussion/announcements inside the forum? Sorry to be a killjoy, but I don't like barriers to entry . . .
