I'm not flaming in any way whatever, I simply want to know something...

   First, please allow us to straighten out this confusion about WTBS...

   ...we have been offered quite favorable and special rates....

   Everyone who is a part of SIS is working on a volunteer basis.
   ...we're all professionals who could be out actually...

   The Stargate Team

All the uses of "we," "us," and "our" give me the impression that I
ought to be talking to a person, but Real Live Names never seem to get
mentioned in this context, and I feel like I'm talking to one of those
awful poll-taking, pseudo-talking computers I get on my phone from
time to time.

Who is "stargate?"  That is, what human beings make up this team?
Postings saying "From: stargate@stargate.com" aren't very helpful, nor
are signatures saying "The Stargate Team."  I didn't see that Lauren
had posted this until I was editing a followup and saw the "Sender:
lauren@stargate.com" line.  So clearly Lauren is involved (no
surprise); from his postings, Mark Horton is, too (also no surprise).
Who else is involved in this group?
