I don't believe anyone has started a formal tracking of desire. I know
lots of people informally want in. Improperly handled this can cause a
lot of hard feelings so let's try to do it right. Whatever that means.

I think one reason Todd may be handing the whole thing off to me as a
big lump is so I get the hostility. :-) That's OK, people either love me
or hate me. Or both at the same time.

(...) This got me thinking. First, I would very much like to participate, although I don't have the piece collection a lot of you have. Second, has Todd or anyone else started a distribution list or something to keep track of who wants to (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)
