Well, can we hold our horses and decide that question first?

I personally would rather that we decide on those who we *owe* a 
response to first. To me, it would seem common decency to decide on 
outstanding membership requests. Those who are already "pending" 
won't really change the dynamics of this list too much, but a 
decision on how big FAQ should be, might.

I am not in favour of opening the group to anyone who wants. This 
could mean that we would end up having a really large group of 
people and still nothing happens.

Forgive me, but I think that the real reason that this group hasn't 
been productive in recent months, is not because of our numbers or 
because of the people on the list. It is because of OoP and the 
problems which have spilled over here. Having additional members did 
not solve the problem when they came on board earlier in the year, 
so I'm unclear as to why inviting more people now, would solve the 
problem.

What we really need is some kind of catalyst to kick start us into 
action. To me, this would be some individual or group beginning 
their FAQ and others following on a crest of enthusiam.

Off to watch Concorde for the last time ever. Weird.
