There are any number of people that would step up to the plate gratis if it
were a worthwhile endeavor. If the GA could demonstrate even the smallest
promise of ever being "organizable" then I am sure that candidates would be
a lot more comfortable stepping up to the plate - even without a vote or
cash recompensation.

There are a ton of great ideas that come out of the GA and a ton of good
people here. Coherency and focus is, for the most part, incredibly lacking
however.

BTW - I've trimmed the cc' line back - I'm pretty sure that everybody on the
old line is already subscribed to the GA list.
