This note brings up a couple of peripheral issues I wanted to mention.

What do people think of ADM being a big (I believe) supporter of PBS?
I cringe every time I hear them mentioned as one of the contributors
for a program.  (For that matter, I think the statements PBS makes for
contributors -- especially corporate ones, of course -- are too long
and commercial-like.)

On a similar note, every time I read the notes on this list and see
the ad at the bottom, I have this reaction that somehow it's
inconsistent with the values this group stands for.  Surely there must
be a better alternative, another place this list can be hosted.
Prairienet, perhaps?
