| heh. thanks for catching that elfur, it is what i meant to say. 'trusted
| people' in an open forum is what i think is best. its been a long week ;)

thought that's what you might be striving for :).

| it takes more than being on the admin list to be an 'admin' in my mind.

but why? isn't it a fact that you're on the admin list to 'admin' ? true
not all there are active, but that just means that they aren't active.
i would love to hear your argument for the difference of the two. plus
deliberation of your part as to whether there should be a difference or
not.

|
| the 'trusted people in an open forum' idea. the open forum of that being
| this list.

ok, but the trusted people need a venue to handle the administration.
basically, it seems to me that the only difference of an opinion between
you and me is the venue. i think that the venue for the trusted people
should be 'admin at lists.evolt.org' since that's where the configuration is
pointed anyway, where as i think you want it to be something else?
right?

or maybe not, maybe i'm just halucinating :)

thanks
