I don't think that would work too well. It would for a while, but -- as
far as I can see -- the reason why many of the more well-known listmembers
are working for FASA nowadays is _because_ they're the more well-known
listmembers. Changing the admins is probably a short-time solution at best,
if this is a real problem (of which I'm not convinced).

As much as I hate it, being the nostalgic that I am, the list isn't the
same as it was in what I'll now refer to as the Good Old Days -- say,
about five years ago. The membership has changed, the old timers' attitudes
have changed, FASA's stance toward the list has changed, and all that put
together have altered the list from one where I really enjoyed being to one
that -- to be honest -- I have ambivalent feelings about. It's not that I
hate being here (I haven't unsubscribed) but it's certainly not as much
fun as it was before we grew up... :(
