John Guyer:
Walter Steed and I actually agree on this.  I too appreciate your
willingness to jump into the dialog on V2020.
While many elected officials subscribe to V2020--as a chance to see which
way the wind is blowing, I assume--very few use this community forum as a
vehicle for interaction.
If more elected officials used this forum, perhaps we could begin to bridge
the existing gulf between government and public (which results in low voter
turnout, etc).  Anyway, that was an original purpose for this list.
