I realize that it causes issues with centralized control, etc., but as long

Instant access to other people's posts.

I understand the concern about one location, etc, that you have, but
I'm just not that worried about it.  Todd and Suz are young, appear to
be in good health, and probably won't die on us anytime soon.  Let's
hope they appoint a babysitter for Lugnet for the honeymoon, though.
