I second you for the position

I would actually like to see the list independent and free of the warring 
east coast - west cost fractions.

I also would like to see this and started to compile some how tos that 
others posted or sent me on my web site.

I would like to see a couple of other lists set up where ever we all end 
up.  I do not use it much, but i like the developer list as it is a bit 
more technical and not for the majority.  I also like the security list as 
it is narrowed down to our biggest concern.

Once again, thank you Bruce.
