Yikes! I now realize that my initial support of the idea for the list must be qualified considerably. If this list is started, its archives become quite important. Who will do that? And will I have the time/energy/inclination to incorporate it into my own search database? I'd rather not have one more thing to do. But if the list gets off the ground - and it seems already at least close to the end of the runway - I'll have to do it eventually in order to have a complete archive.
