lIST,I have never left the met-list . I see it every morning and still enjoy it. Every once in a while someone posts something interesting on it. Just the other day Dolores Hill used it to invite all of us to an osiris event. I do miss the action from the past here but, facebook more than makes up for it. Just as much drama and excitement as this list used to have. Seems to be room for both. Some of the newbies like Topher keep facebook fun.
