[Aquanet] Future of the list...

[Annette Compton]

I've enjoyed being on the list since 2004 when I was working on a  
book I wrote. Since then, I've also connected many of my students to  
the list.

I'm ambivalent about it continuing. I get so much email between work  
and friends that I don't always feel motivated to respond. There are  
many members who know each other from years of communicating who seem  
to have closer conversations. I'm happy to "listen" or delete as my  
interest waxes and wanes. But I don't always feel like I need to  
participate. If we're "quiet," what's the harm in that in a noisy  
world? Is it a question of whether it can stay funded to keep the  
site up and running? I'm not sure as to how the "back end" of the  
site works other than I appreciate the work Liz and Ray do to keep it  
current and running. Perhaps lack of participation leaves you all  
feeling weary! I certainly understand that.

I'm in the process of revamping my own website, so that has my  
attention right now. I hope whatever is decided, the majority will be  
content. My compliments to the visionary artists who started the  
conversation in 1995. Its the best use of the internet, I think—a  
forum where we can take what we like and leave the rest.
