No, I disagree.  The paralysis went much further back, to the time
when we were having regular FTF meetings.

We've already established that there are very few people willing to
carry on.  Limiting them to any one place is going to make the
available pool even smaller.  I'd rather explore the teleconference
idea if that's important to people.  My personal feeling, since I
joined the AUUG board in 2000, was that we should have been making
much more use of email.
