<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>I fully agree with your sentiments Merle. It seems to me that the
change in format from one discussion list on AMOL to the several different
lists on CAN has resulted in a marked lessening of any type of discussion. A
once vibrant and informative list on AMOL has turned into a notice board of
events and job postings. I can’t remember the last interesting discussion
that came up on CAN-talk. Perhaps it is time to re-consider the format and go
back to just one list to deal with all communication needs?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
