Thank you for putting this back together. Should we sticky this?

 

[COS80]

Not a bad idea. It would also make a good addition to our website.

I could easily throw it on there. I’ll mimic the list and make any adjustments as they’re added here.

 

[COS80]

Post our waiver, too, while you're at it, please.

You got it. I've updated our website. Please let me know if there are any modifications that need to be made to the site.
