- I agree with Don that this group is high quality, and I appreciate the work
- that the snitches and others have done to create all the quality information
- we see here on a very timely basis. I would like to see this continue, even
- if Usenix does not want to pay for supporting it.
-
- If John is willing to continue as moderator on a volunteer basis, I applaud
- him. If not, I would like to see him call for a volunteer moderator before
- turning the group into an unmoderated zoo and flame fest.
