Al, I didn't block. It's the first week. You can't block then. You're

you do so. I am, however, allowed to express my opinion that this
would not go anywhere. I may be wrong.

Maybe a good way of finding out people's feelings is by going through
the mailing list and reading people's replies every other time you've
proposed this?
