While we're on the subject of the list itselt, may I make a couple of requests? Number one, please change the settings so that anyone (meaning anyone interested in Pacifica Foundation) can read the messages. Otherwise, it really is a "private list" and I don't think that's in the spirit of Pacifica. I really think that "public" is the guiding principle. When you opened the list, it was to organize a grassroots effort to change the structure and leadership of Pacifica. Now that you have accomplished that goal, I see no need to perpetuate the privacy of this list. In fact, as I've said before, Pacifica Foundation (and all it's offshoots) ought to stress inclusion. Number two, would you consider going into the Member folder and deleting all those expired Members who are "bouncing" which means they are no longer at that email address? I just think that's a part of list-management netiquette, so that the count is not misleading. Thanks for your consideration and, again, thanks for your efforts. Nalini
