Hi all and sundry :-)

ROSCO: Probably your email made it into my spam folder, sorry! I haven't read
such an email and therefore don't know what happened, and whether I would have
endorsed it beforehand or not. Well, seems that we all survived unscathed...

Dave: It's definitely fine by me having you with global curatorship privileges,
same with Dan. I trust you enough to take responsibility for it. I have revised
the whole list of curators some time ago and it should be relatively up-to-date.

As for Todd and Suz still being on that list: I haven't heard from them for some
time past and since I have a feeling that the changeover isn't completed
(trademark issues + some unspecified limitations and wishes Suz mentioned
earlier) I better do not blocking Todd and Suz out from their site.

So for reference:

Jerry: Admin for technical issues (and he's doing good, even answering the phone
in the middle of the night on weekends :-). Responsible for Hardware, Server
Config, NNTP and Perl issues

Me: Admin for organizational things, structure & design. HTML, CSS, PHP.

Dan & Dave: Able to do s.th., helped a lot in the past (Thanks!!) but no one has
to force them to do something specific.

Todd & Suz: Still able to do anything just like before the change, but both
officially retired.

Hope that lightened things a little bit,

Leg Godt!
Rene

PS: I read about the "Traffic" Link on the homepage, will add this later this
week!
