That niche is being filled by the Ignite/400 list. See www.ignite400.org

I can put up with deleting threads of no interest and reading through messages
reliving the golden memories from the past, just to get a really important
question answered or to stumble on a "little jewel" that someone posts.

I agree totally. Because of the volume of posts by Hans and Brad, I have
come to know them through these posts even though I have not met either
of them. The issues they raise are not new to me, though I appreciate their
views as it helps me to see these issues from different perspectives. Is web
design an AS/400 issue? It better be!!!
