A personal introduction from everyone on this list is well-intentioned,
but a very bad idea. This list could potentially contain more than 1,000
names, and even if only a fraction responded to the call for personal
introductions that would flood our inbox with over 100 messages. As with
many others I know, I have enough trouble managing the daily influx of
e-mail as it is; let's not add to it.

Thanks,
