Agree completely - and I heartily recommend list members - where  
possible - get together to meet over beers and food where the level  
of discussion can be so much more enjoyable, creative and productive  
than you'll get just through the list alone.

Such as here in Cambridge this July, or the various US meetings.

Cheers,
Neil
