 For the little bit of regional noise generated with posts like these I think
the list can afford it. It's benefits to collectors in general as more regions
get themselves together like the Boston and RI inititives are immense. I would
like to see a similiar thing develop in the Toronto area. What better place to
organise the isolated collectors in different regions. I seem to remember
several events that were California-specific being organized on the list.
 C'mon give the great unwashed out in the diaspara a break. At least it's more
on-topic than much of the noise that's been generated lately by those who
should know better.
