That should say "hobbyist's", Charlie. And I saw that they had
"hobbiest" on the forum site. See? They, too, should have hired
me as their website designer! ;)

Actually, if we are talking about "Talk with fellow hobbyists' ", it should not
be possessive--it is just plural.
But that is insignificant compared to the fact that the designer has dictated
what size of font I have to use. It is so small I can't read it.
When I hit <Ctrl> + Spin the wheel to increase the size, nothing happens! Or is
that the fault of the bulletin board designer--PHP-Nuke/Francisco Burzi.

In that case, it should read: "Talk with fellow hobbyists." (No
apostrophy after the s.)
