All in favor say "YAY".  WOW! Was that the "shout that was 
heard across the world"?  Just kidding...  I agree too.

The question is, who do we tell?  I was under the impression
(due to past discussions) that Kevin and Matt are doing
this "out of the goodness in their hearts", and that
Ascend does not pay much credence to this list, as we are
but a few of the masses...  We do not represent the majority
opinion.

Whether or not that is true, I would like to voice my opinion
to Ascend.  So, again, who do we tell?

thanks,
Robert
