What will be, will be, of course. But I suspect that it will be more
helpful to allow Suz to circulate her announcements here on LUGNET at her
own pace.

I am still struggling with the timing. I’m relieved that there has been no
rush of panic!

I, for one, endorse immediate, full-blown hysteria. All this reasonable
analysis misses a golden opportunity for us to run around like headless
chickens.

Here’s what I’m thinking at the moment... For my own sanity, it seems
reasonable that a rough course of action be decided upon by Aug 1. That is to
say, I’ll have listened to a whole bunch of people by then, asked questions,
looked at data, etc. and should have a plan (which may or may not be the same
one I held in hand when I wrote the blog entry quoted above). A “plan” will
just mean that a clock starts counting down, and we all understand some
guidelines for what sort of good news might stop the clock.
I apologize for my still not being sure about those two dates, but sixty-ish
days seems like a reasonable amount of warning before a shutdown, yes?

IMO you’d be within your rights, even if it would ruffle some feathers, to say
“I’ve had it! LUGNET will shut down at midnight until further notice.” You
and I don’t really know each other, but I suspect that that course would be
objectionable to you, and I applaud efforts to establish any timeframe or plan
of action.
Two suggestions that might make things go more smoothly:
1. Sharply limit the number of Daves on LUGNET.
2. Clone-brands in every posting group!
Okay, at least one of those wasn’t a serious suggestion.
The last time my breath was this baited was when I ate that bucket of worms.
Dave!
