I don't mean to be a contrarian crank - well, yes, I guess I do.

Even though I haven't had the time to participate directly in the
project, I *love* reading about it and would rather see the stuff stay
on the list. More than anything else that's happened on this list
since I've been on it, it's given me a sense that this group is doing
stuff in our community.

If it stays on the list, I can:

a) vicariously enjoy what y'all are doing

b) by being aware of what you're up to, find occasional ways to help

Count one vote for keeping the discussion on-list.

Cheers,
