AudiFans Wiki

[Ed Kellock]

Honestly, much of this is weighted with people who understand that the list,
and the wiki by extension, is not anyone's primary vocation, so I'd suggest
that some have chosen to be less assertive in the pursuit of the restoration
of the wiki, with the mindset that it will get sorted out in due time.

I am aware of Dan's situation and have great empathy for it.  I have
volunteered in the past to assist and hereby volunteer again.

The overt discussion of the last day or two is merely the natural escalation
of the level of awareness of the absence...  I, for one, am pleased to see
that there is still an equal interest by you and Dan.  

But... WHY must you _always_ be so alienatingly confrontational?!!  It's no
wonder people are motivated to assume a negative, disinterested perspective.
