Nice dream, but we'll never get a say on anything so real. The decision 
was made before the software was purchased and everything since was 
smoke. The official word went from "we can't support the old list, it's 
too expensive in volunteer time" (which I could see), to suddenly the 
old list is no trouble at all, and there's no reason we can't keep it 
for "the foreseeable future", which made no sense at all unless they had 
replaced the old problematic software. That's why I kept asking if the 
list functionality could be handled by the new software, since they had 
already added a PDA "feature" at the request of other subscribers, it 
seemed to me that they might eventually be able to get it to actually 
work. Requests fundamentally ignored, and nothing fixed. A shocker, for 
sure.
