New procedure
Since this is a low volume community, with all the topics listed in the sidebar, with their due dates, I will no longer post the start of the theme each period. The due time for posting is the last day mentioned by midnight ET. Real life has eaten me up lately, and doing a formal start has become almost impossible to do on the set time. I do check this community regularly; it's not abandoned, but it seems that that is, under current use, one less thing needful to do until my schedule changes. If 3 or more people post, I will call a vote. If the situation changes, and we get more activity then we'll see.
