hi kelly,
i'm very glad to see that you not only want to give us your perspective, but your very open to the perspectives of others, some of whom may not even be around here anymore. when i think, also, of all the good stuff i-i has produced in the last few years, i can't help wondering if, coming to it for the first time, you don't feel overwhelmed.
i guess this also means we need to be careful about what we say: someone five years, say, from now may then take us to task for something we so knowlingly proclaimed now, but that in retrospect looks like the height of stupidity
