List manager getting involved [RE-wrenches]

[keith]

I personally feel I benefit from the discussions from the California
gang.  Perhaps their models and stories are what's to come or avoid in
the future around the country.  I archive all of the dialog into a
folder for future use.  Even if I don't feel it pertains directly to me
at this moment in time, I still feel it is extremely valuable.  History
shall repeat itself if we don't listen well.

I think the California PV scene is either leading edge or bleeding edge
(or bs). We need a separate CA-Wrenches list to clear the clutter from
RE-Wrenches. Global Wrenches should be able to participate or eavesdrop
as they so choose.

list) from those that have not yet given me an opinion on a separate
list. If I were to decide by myself, I would start the new list and
restrict the topic on this list, because I heavily sympathize with you
out-of-state comrades. In fact, the new Calif-Wrenches list is set up
and ready to go -- just in case...

apologize if I missed anything that I should have dealt with during the
time, but if there is something moderator-specific you would like to
point out to me, please let me know off-list.
