A tree to grow

One further tidbit I meant to include in my long explanation.... Right now I'm trying to manage the recombination of the cctech and cctalk list. I've stated that is my plan countless times on the list (soliciting input) and had virtually zero objections. Because most people (well, no one) sees the admin emails I get from listmembers - I doubt anyone can really appreciate just what a difficult thing that will be given policies, politics, personalities, etc. etc. The absolute last thing in the world I needed... the absolute worst thing that could have happened to make that more difficult... is someone challenging my position to implement that. And without the two lists being recombined, I wouldn't be terribly hopeful for the future of the list and the website - or at least my willingness to continue to run it. Not for any childish reason, but because many of the future plans I have for classiccmp.org would be substantially more difficult with two lists, and the time required to maintain the two list approach has become completely untennable. It has to end, or people with infinitely more free time (and bandwidth) than me need to take over the list. Jay
