Good to hear, Charles.
I think a "Members Only" section would be great, as well as a link/plug for CaveTex and how to join, what it is, etc. Would there be adequate server space for old issues of the Texas Caver? It's up to y'all/membership if we'd want to put these in the Members Only section, but, I have pdf's of all the ones I've done. Some good thoughts and discussions going on, and, hey, they're actually constructive AND positive! Keep up the great work on CaveTex and the TSA site!
