THIS IS THE LAST DAY I WILL POST THIS. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE CONSPICUOUS BY THEIR ABSENCE OF REPLIES. THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO GET THE SENSE OF THE GROUP- NOT TO TURN THE LIST INTO MY SENSE OF WHAT IT SHOULD BE. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE DISENFRANCHISED LEAST OF ALL DON + VIVIAN. THIS LIST SERVES A PURPOSE FOR YOU AND THAT NEEDS TO BE MAINTAINED AS WELL AS THE FOR THOSE IT COULD BE SERVING AND IS NOT. WE NEED THE BRAINS AND MOTIVATION OF THE ENTIRE GROUP IF WE ARE GOING TO SOLVE WHAT IS BEING SEEN BY AN APPARENTLY LARGE NUMBER OF US AS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
