[HPFGU-OTChatter] [HPFGU-OT]-Main list idea

This is me just speaking as Amanda, not on behalf of the list admins.

I really must be out of the loop. When did we say that?

People already do this. They email the owners address pointing out actions
they'd like taken. It *does* help, we appreciate it. Maybe you pointing it
out will increase volume and help us keep a handle on things better.

Thanks for a constructive direction for a change! (watch out for that mob
with the torches and pitchforks, off on your left)
