I doubt anyone intended to cut anyone out of discussions, but a new medium at this time just wasn't a good idea. It also didn't seem to work well when I first tried to sign up (the round-trip email never came through; yes, I checked my spam-box). Things like this make uptake even slower. -Fred -- Fred L.
