Assuming that people do not, in fact, consult the
wrong list deliberately, but rather are simply anxious
and do not know where to go, I volunteer to start

their inquiries to the most appropriate venue.

My first entry is

I will collect submissions and post the web site when
there is something of value to post.

Agreed ?
