Uhhh -- permit me to rephrase that? (G) I was aware that another CC could admin a county list; after all, Michelle Staggs admin'd the WVHampsh when it first started and I was too busy to deal with it. I wasn't aware that just any ol'boy off the street could do it without the knowledge and consent of the CC. If they can, then it ought not be allowed.
