The impression that Bill gave in the preceeding exchange
was that the tlug mailing list would be deleted, and a new
gtalug mailing list would be created, requiring everyone to
acknowledge the name change and the authority of the group that
set up the non-profit incorporation as a condition of joining
the new list.  (That makes me think of using an EULA as a way
of getting "concensus".)

Perhaps I misunderstood what Bill intended to mean.

Further on in my message, I expressed doubt that such a change
would happen in the way that Bill had seemed to suggest -
from your response it would seem that you agree that I was
correct about that.
