[Opensim-users] Questions on Groups

[InuYasha Meiji]

As I wrote in my tag line, you might have missed it since I have a habit 
of ignoring other people tags, I show that I am running Apache, with PHP 
installed and more that all came with xampp.  I even installed the mail 
server incase it was needed later for off world IM mesages later on.

Thanks for the responce though.  I don't want anyone to fel I don't 
appreciate some kind of reply.
