Someone jumping up and supporting the registry part might seem like a wonderful thought, but I think I need to push things along further before adding money to the equation would help, not hurt. Another way of saying it is that as long as everything is on a volunteer basis, there is no time spent arguing about/deciding how or where the money should be spent. -- Robert I.

It remains to work these concepts into a practical, down-to-earth context, and for this there is nothing more practical or down-to-earth than what I have been talking about all along...the repair of an old motorcycle." -- from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig
