Sam, I totally agree that having Sarah establish a new Google option is the
better way to go at this point. I merely suggested the existing SOTT group
to make sure we would have a home. For all the reasons Stewart has
articulated, a new list created by Sarah I believe would work better. I
also reiterate that I think a Board is helpful, so that everything isn't on
one person. And please a very gentle hand.
Finally, I would suggest that if possible we get as many posters to rally
around Sarah's suggestion and create a strong initial momentum, so she can
get her work done quickly and we can have as seamless of a transition as
possible.
And.....thanks Sarah!!!!!!!
Bill
