If I understand the rules correctly, three people is enough to begin a group, so we can actually begin the Schenectady-Albany team

No, you have a small mis-understanding. Creating an official ARMA study group is a little more specific. Three or more ARMA members may start a study group with direct permission from the ARMA director, John Clements. Therefore, all three of you must first become ARMA members, then you can request permission from John Clements to create the new ARMA study group.

I look forward to the creation of your group.

I apologize for the misunderstanding, as I did not mean to jump the gun on something I was not yet qualified for. The Membership page made it sound as if it was easy to just start right off as a group as part of becoming a member. Either way, however, I do indeed plan on becoming a member (application going in the mail tomorrow morning, now that I better understand this), so no real worries. As long as there aren't extreme requirements for forming a group, I forsee it happening still (just not right away . )

Eric, you'll be able to contact me on my listed MSN or AIM screennames. Starting on Friday, I should be much more free to contact (I'll likely be online by 2 or 3 pm on, several days in a row at that). It will be easy to run into me this weekend.

While we're on a similar topic, can anyone answer a question for me?

I have a copy of Wallerstein, and would like to work on adding some of the unarmed techniques there to my mediocre wrestling repertoire. Is it frowned upon for an ARMA member to work on this sort of thing with non-members (there is a wrestling club and a couple of informal MMA clubs at SUNY Albany)?
