Sure it is. It's for all of us to decide. It doesn't matter to me what direction this moves. I just thought that I'd step forward and volunteer. If you would rather be our fearless leader, Eric, then again, you're more than welcome to do it. To be honest, I'd almost rather that you did. It's just one less leadership position that I have to worry about---I already have plenty as it is! :-) If you're interested, why not subscribe to the bsd-advocacy mailing list that I've set up, and we'll discuss it there?
