I never received an email from John and when I went to register, I did it as LizaJane. So I'm there. I wrote a rather long and rambling post to JL, with my concerns. I saw one post there, from Mrs D, saying she was going to stay there. I'm not committed at all. I see no evidence that he's setting up more backup systems to protect us, or a more open environment. I'd want to see that there are more Johns than John, so if he is busy at work, there are people looking over things. I'd want moderators who are open.

I imagine this site will one day become proprietary and we will pay to be a member. That would be worth it, if we are paying for attention.

Anyway, here's what I said to JL:
