A another thought if I may on this topic on this yet another sleepless in Hoboken from PD or from whatever night.

I may be inaccurate, but so far I count about 8 opinions in favor of the change, and 13 against. These come mostly from active list members. If that is any indication of the effect of the change on future list activity, then the activity will significantly diminish. Presumably this is not the intended result. Time will tell, of course, and perhaps it would be a good idea to see what the real effect turns out to be. Will the active participants be fewer in number? Voting, either by polling or by the revolving door, may in fact matter. Phil Tompkins Hoboken NJ age 61/dx 1990
