Ernie : I must say, after all my previous skepticism, you have real guts. This, of course, has the potential to become seriously hot. But we shall see. My biggest concern is that after all the effort we put into this, the usual blogs and sites will continue to dominate discussion. As far as quality goes, however, it should be pretty hard to top our new site. I'd also suspect that if the controversy continues we will eventually find an important audience. My deepest thanks for all you have done --and for all the work that Lennart has put into this project.

Hi everyone, Tomorrow, everything changes. Our new tagline is "the online community for Radical Centrist thinkers and activists." To date, we've mostly focused on the "thinking" part. After tomorrow -- God and the Internet willing -- we will be known as activists. Billy (with help from several anonymous Centroids) will be launching a new website focused on Islam and the Ground Zero Mosque. Given the enormous cultural angst and media attention around this issue, there is every chance this will be picked up by the Blogosphere and the Mainstream Media. We will certainly ask for your help in making that happen, once the final URL is live. That site will link back to Centroids as its parent, meaning that this list (and everyone on it) may face that same scrutiny. So, if you don't want to be part of this new direction, I encourage you to unsubscribe. I am also deleting all the inactive members from the list. I am also removing any references to the discussion that led to the new website, both to preserve people's privacy and to reduce clutter in Google searches. If you have any questions, feel free to email me off list. Thanks, and may God be with us. Or at least let us be with Him...
