[GRLUG] trouble extracting from XML (Ajax)

[Dave Brondsema]

Oops - sorry for the double suggestion.

Eric, do you have a problem with joining a Google Group?  You don't need
gmail - you can have a Google Account with any email address.  Moreover,
I think you can just send an email to
grwebdev+subscribe at googlegroups.com and not even need to set up a Google
Account at all.
