	I'm sure that many people have left for their OWN reasons,
	which may or may NOT be the same as yours.  Maybe 
	they said all they wanted to say on the topics they wrote
	about.  Maybe they get too much e-mail from too many
	sources and simply dropped out to reduce the load.

	Personally, I enjoy the (limited) variety of topics on 
	TowerTalk.  Typically, most topics run their course
	fairly rapidly and we move on.  Haranging over off-topic
	criticism only prolongs the process.

	One of the things I particularly enjoy about TowerTalk
	is the pool of knowledgable contributors who I have come
	to know over a broad range of topics.  This helps me to
	understand where they are coming from on new topics
	and gives me a trusted group to turn to when I have 
	questions.  I still find TowerTalk to be the most polite
	and well behaved Reflector I have been associated with,
	even when strong opinions are expressed.  Almost always
	they come from frimly held beliefs and are NOT personal
	attacks.

	How long do you think the BEVERAGE reflector would last?
	Or the 48 ft boom MONOBANDER reflector?  
	The TRIBANDER reflector would probably endure longer
	with the understandable loss of the BIG GUN station owners.
	I expect careful selection of the focus will be the key
	to success of any new venture.  

	Again, I prefer getting my input from one common reflector
	and filing individual messages in separate topic related
	folders (I have over 100), maintaining my own archives.
	My only complaint is that people tend to forget to change
	the SUBJECT line when the topic of discussion shifts.
