Hi Camille,
+1 from me for your suggestions too.

I'm interested to know who is subscribed to this list? It feels a bit 
silly writing to a list that doesn't have anyone listening on the other 
end. If you are watching I suggest speaking up and introducing yourself.
Has there been discussions on a private list that I'm unaware of?

Camille, if you are a list admin, would you mind letting us know how 
many people are subscribed to the list.

Warm regards, Cameron
