NavList:

For those of us who have sitting on the sidelines, observing the discussions between the heavy hitters on this list, I would like to ask the following question:

Is Navigation-L on its way out? Should we all simply migrate over to Frank's site and start posting there? Notwithstanding that I have signed on to Frank's rogue site :-^), my sense of loyalty precludes my abandoning Dan's site altogether. It has served us well all of these years.

But now Dan appears to be throwing in the towel too.

And despite the doom and gloom, it appears to me that the crew is still actively participating in discussions on Navigation-L.

How about we get out of limbo and make a decsion, en masse? Or is that really possible with such a diverse group?

Personnally, I think Dan will have to shut down Navigation-L before I abandon ship. Loyalty is stubborn trait in me.

Robert
