Stefani, 

   Let me put it a better way - styles of communication differ a
lot. But much of it is inertia, that's for sure. 

   The user home page discussion that took place mostly on the
Services list (the most widely read list) the other week, 
and that involved so many people, seems to be what prepitated or 
gelled the consensus to go forward with that project. Without 
that widely contributed-to discussion,, I believe that wouldn't 
have happened. 

   The Planning list is a closed list (please let me know if 
this isn't true any longer), whose 8 or so members were 
hand-picked by somebody. Most of the people who nudged the user 
home page discussion to a successful resolution of that 
long-standing issue aren't on the Planning list. Why shouldn't 
some of the other Planning issues be discussed in a more open 
forum as well?

   That's a fine spirit in which to view all this.
