Sounds good. BUT... (Not to be morbid, but...) what if you and Suzanne
are hit by a bus tomorrow? What will happen to Lugnet then? I ask not
because it's any of my business or because I have a "right" to the fine

stuff, and I shudder.

We recovered in both prior instances because there was a community. But
Lugnet provides the community matrix. If the server stops running, what
then?

What IS your succession strategy? Does your will speak to it? Do you
