Re: The Democratic Answer to new home - VOTE
Here's the thing...a web-based "list" isn't a list at all, it's a bulletin or message board, like APUG, or the LF Forum. The alt list in its current form is exactly that, a list. So maybe some feel its just semantics, but there's a hell of an intimate difference in this list than any other web forum I visit...maybe that's why I feel so strongly. Has anyone thought of approaching the U of Sask and asking if we could keep the list there, considering its importance in the photography world, and having someone assigned the moderator? Maybe they'd allow it...

If anyone feels I've misrepresented your position, please correct me, although as I said this isn't an official count in any way. If anything, at this point, it's more of a compendium of early thoughts and concerns, and may be useful for helping set up questions/categories if anyone's going to set up an official survey using Survey Monkey or whatever. (And note, these are not exhaustive or mutually exclusive, just a summary of the comments so far, FWIW.)
