I think it's too late. The content that used to be posted here has moved
on...I'm trying to figure out if I really need to subscribe to this list
anymore. Aside from miscellaneous TS specific product news what else does
it offer?
Couldn't the content that has moved on post a sentry on this list to forward
any significant content to that new content home? I'd volunteer to take my
turn at being such a sentry. I'd even volunteer to take the first watch...
Any takers on my offer of serious, shared sentryship?
But I think you are right Neal about something....It is (or rather it was) a
question of leadership.
I don't think anyone doubts the commitment of the new content leader to
quickly cut when nonsense rears it's head...It's my view that content folks
want that new content leader to be uncompromising in his commitment to a
content rich space...
