I could be stepping on his foot, here, but I don't remember Tim 
expressing any interest in forming this list of writers.  I know he is 
terribly busy, with how many lists already?  (I've often wondered, 
incidentally, how Tim makes his living, but it's a rude 
question...unless he'd want to offer that info on his own...)  I think 
one of us who have explicitly expressed interest should take it.  I for 
one don't have much time, only usually reading my mail once or twice a 
week, but if no one else is willing to volunteer, I wouldn't grumble 
about putting together all the addresses people want to send and sending 
the list out to everyone on it.  I absolutely cannot, however, be a sort 
of leader or moderator of the list, mostly because I'm unqualified but 
also because I'm not interested in authority, only in contributing.  I 
don't think we need a nominal leader, however; if it works, the list 
will work on the problems democratically.   And in any human 
microcosm--even on the internet, one would expect--the natural leaders 
always emerge on their own.
