Dear Mr. Keith, I 've just come to know that you were hospitalied and back on the road to recovery. I pray for yr speedy recovery to normalcy and the good work you have been at. Hindu philosophy says that goodwork done for the community without expecting any return has its own rewards during yr current tenure (life) or the next . I dont want to go into the details which others in the forum may not agree and create more work for you in the form of a flood of EMails! Again wishing you a speedy recovery to normal andwith Regards, Subramanian, D.V

I'm back home now, recovering, but I'll have to take it easy for a while. This is the second time - I spent two weeks in hospital at the beginning of January. I'll be okay, the prognosis is good, just a matter of time. Thanks once again for your concern and good wishes. > Keith wish you happy recovery to come back here , make this list >much dynamic.There is need for your reply of many post here >sd >Pannirselvam >Brasil Thankyou for saying so Pan, but I don't agree. I don't think there's any great need for my constant presence here, or at least there shouldn't be. When I was away in January very few people seem to have noticed, the list continued as usual, and several people said that was a sign of its maturity, which is what we were aiming for when we moved the list. See: http://wwia.org/pipermail/biofuel/Week-of-Mon-20040906/000007.html Pan, we've repeatedly talked of the need for a new direction and a new focus for the list, I much agree, and I know others do too. But have you noticed how nothing happens? I also said this at the time we moved: >If it [the membership] should shrink to only 300, and they're >members who're prepared to take it seriously, that it's a community, >*their* community, and they behave like responsible, self-moderating >community members, I'll be more than pleased. I'll be delighted. If >we can achieve that kind of community here, I couldn't care less how >many members it has. For two reasons.

Not any more. I've also said quite a few times that we >don't think biofuels is the most important part of our project, >important of course, but just a part - but it's a very greedy part >that means more important things have to go without. Not any more. > >The other reason, the more important one, is that such a list will >be able to go about its business a LOT better and will achieve at >least as much, regardless of how many members it has or doesn't have. > >That's what we're aiming for, and this is it - it either flies or it >dies. It should fly. I know that a lot of people here want that. A >lot of other people I didn't know before have now told me the same. >(Thankyou!) > >Well, it's up to you. Get on with it. From: http://wwia.org/pipermail/biofuel/Week-of-Mon-20040906/000113.html If it all STILL depends on me, then all that time and effort was wasted - many hundreds of hours and more. One man can't do this - what it NEEDS is not me but a community effort, as I've said all along. Otherwise? Let it die.
