David,
I think you are are hasty in your judgement.  Yes Bee-L is fine at the
moment except that, like parts of Canada, it is beginning to signs of stress
due to its popularity.  This is just OK at the moment but as Bee-L
pleasantly caters for everyone from the unknowing to the very knowledgeable
and also will become increasingly crowded over the next few years, surely a
new system for managing the List has to be sought.  Bestofbee is an idea -
from people who are prepared to give it a go.  Progress is mostly made from
efforts that don't quite work out as expected but the attempt has to be
made.   Aren't Canadians respected world wide for their tolerance and
pioneering spirit?  Hence  "Progress Drive"!
