Re:  Alison's comment that when LLL doesn't take a stand, it's actually
taking a stand:

"When something important is going on, silence is a lie." - AM Rosenthal,
NY Times  One of two quotes I have above my desk.

On the other hand, my old APL wisely pointed out that LLL has never
had to reverse its information, because it doesn't jump on every band
wagon that passes by.

On the other hand, I *do* see LLL becoming more vocal, more assertive with
the years.

On the other hand, a single focus helps prevent accusations of fanaticism.

On the other hand, LLL people get called fanatics any way.

On the other hand, the other quote above my desk is "Never doubt that a
small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
