I joined "ning" for another purpose and saw that there wasn't already a povray
networking group set up on it.  I guess I'm the headmaster now; if a person of
greater merit (that I recognize) ;-p wants the keys, let's talk.   Just wanted
to grab the userid before some $$$-ware enthusiast did so.

I've heard that ning is going to be shutting off their free service 
'soon'.  Might just be fearmongering, but something to keep in mind.

Also amusing is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ning_%28website%29

At the time I viewed this, it contained some comment about the 
operator's heads being up their own arses... Wikipedia is like that 
sometimes.

k, yep, I saw such a warning  displayed on the page shortly after I posted my
note.  No intention of paying now.   At least the userid is in the hands of an
actual povray enthusiast, FWIW.
