1. Yes, I have looked at the network configuration on the Nagios machine.
2. Not really - I just haven't given thought to it.
3. I looked at the tickets (once, admittedly) , but didn't see any in my 
area of expertise.
4. Yes, I do, but my time is in extremely short supply at the moment.
5. None at this time - my problems with the group are my own, not the 
group's.
6. Most difficult: time, or lack thereof. Next most difficult: no 
tickets needing my skill set.
7. I made one or two of them.
8. Garlic Potato-Leek soup at Jim's Restaurant in Bahrain.

Sorry I haven't been active since I requested membership - 18 credit 
hours of school on top of a full time job has proven to be more 
difficult than I first imagined. Now that I've been able to automate a 
couple things at work, though, I should be able to carve out a few hours 
a week if you'll still have me.
