I should make it clear that - in the current context - "->" (in the
subject) means 'going to', NOT 'implies' or 'equals'! :)

Although I don't have the numbers, I suspect that the NUG

stepping on an IED in Iraq...)
There's probably even some percentage of RB users who joined
specifically because of the existence of such a list.
Hopefully, RS people have their finger on the pulse, and realize
they're flat-lining here! DON'T kill the NUG.
At this rate, the list will become - in the words of Dug the
Podracer, "Bantha Poodoo!"
And shortly thereafter, RS's sales figures will plunge too, as
many(?) former users abandon the platform, the company, and each
other, and take up Cocoa or VB.Net.
Just my $0.02 on the matter...
