[sllug-members]: change ownership

[Jarom Hatch]

Jack,

For the sake of sanity, if it still isn't working for you after the
suggestions posted here (since many of them seem to conflict, I've been
following this for a while now), feel free to contact me off-list and
I'll be happy to assist you one-on-one or via remote access to get the
problem solved and the machine working the way you desire.

Too many cooks in the kitchen ...

Thanks

Jarom
