Saying that the old list is like a horse and buggy, or a rotary phone is amusing. To me the NEW site 
is more like a horse and buggy (emphasis on buggy) and the horse apparently is not well trained.
I think this all happened because of a major political disconnect between the main contributors to 
the old  list and the political leadership. It really is like someone coming in and swapping your 
beloved old piano and sticking a new digital keyboard with lots of bells and whistles.
 No matter how much you try to argue that the electronic keyboard is better than the old piano 
(because it is more modern and full of interesting features), there will be many intelligent and 
thoughtful people who preferred the old piano. This is not because they are Luddites. It is because 
it met the needs of the users better.
==================

Yea, what he said.
But, does this mean I should cover my 100 year old grand with LED lights, or not?
I'm confused, I don't want to be left behind. ;o)

Luddite is a magnificent word.
