<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, despite the obvious limitations and problems
of an unmoderated list, I believe V2020 is a serious communication vehicle for
this community...why?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. V2020 is now 13 years old. That 400 or
whatever number of subscribers pay attention to this list is proof
enough.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. I have watched quite a few new voices first
tentatively show up on this list, then learn to speak up and speak out.
That is heartening. and empowering for those people and the
community</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. People do pay attention to the topics discussed
on this list. Local politicians, city government, local econ. dev.
representatives all monitor the list, and do post on topics of interest.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. Local media monitors this list as well, and use
it as a source of tips for stories to be covered more extensively.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5. Issues develop on V2020 that rouse supporters
and have wider audience because of V2020 (examples: foie gras, rural night
lighting trespass)</FONT></DIV>
