Is it safe for us to assume that you will announce the list (or 
whatever) and how we may subscribe/participate/lurk/whatever, once it's 
ready to roll?

I'm sure many of us are very interested...

"It remains difficult to know when and how much to trust the wisdom of
crowds [...] Crowds turn all too quickly into mobs, with their time-
honored manifestations:  manias, bubbles, lynch mobs, flash mobs,
crusades, mass hysteria, herd mentality, goose-stepping, conformity,
groupthink [...].  Collective judgment has appealing possibilities;
collective self-deception and collective evil have already left a
cataclysmic record."
