    Miscellaneous FAQs
    I am not in a group yet. What do I do?
    If you registered very recently for the class, try to find others in the class who are in
    groups already and see if you can be added on to a group. Please try to find a group, and
    if you let me know, I will play matchmaker.
    When do the web casts get online?
    The webcasts are usually available a few hours after the class is done, assuming I stay on
    top of things.
    Do I need to read all your emails? (They are getting a little tiresome)
    Heck, yeah!!!!
