Untrue. You killed the idea as you kill it today.

The reason while it failed is that they were very carefully set-up. What is 
of interest is to have lists set-up and killed as the people wants them. 
The entire mistake Danny and you made in supporting the WG-Review "jefsey's 
proposition" was to kick our ass into your sub-lists. No one likes it.

The "jefsey's proposition" (cf. WG-Review archives and Joana Lane's site) 
was that if people wants to discuss a topic one of them or a group of them 
initiate a working site and list. The site to document position statements 
and the list to discuss them until we can aggregate them into a consensus. 
So anyone might pop-in/out a debate without loosing the thread and 
competences may  be self acknowledged.

A very different approach from your rigid, non site supported, rules 
enforced, debate reported, ga list separated artificial sub-lists.

I do not say the "jefsey's proposition" would work. But I say you never 
tried it.
