I too am worried about the number of unsubscribes since we started this discussion. I have found a site where we can start an email list just for this discussion, then maybe we won't disturb the others who are not interested. Any ideas, I will sign us up and get it started if you all think it is a good idea.

I think it should stay here as a sub-list or a chat area, rather than moving to another site. Let's not duplicate.
