[fvc-wat-disc] Cleanup

[Alida and George]

To all scribes

If there is someone committed to maintaining the lists, it would seem to me 
that Angela's recommendation is both the most logical and democratic.

I, for one,  promise not to yell at anyone if the traffic becomes heavy. 
That could only be an encouraging sign of  building interest out there :)

And, heck, I guess I'm now hooked on association with  such enthusiastic 
folks. It rubs off.

Knowledge rocks.

George
