I've been a previous member of the list, with all the advantages of a site like this or others where you can search, interact with a specific person etc, all the advantages, why wouldn't the suggestion be bring the guys there over here or to a competing forum?
I certainly don't speak for Bob Parks, but he's a friend, and a great guy, and a genius, and when I asked him about coming over here a few years ago, he said he did not want to get involved, I think the BS quotient is way to high for him, and he would be spending all day tearing down the opinions of some of the "prominent experts" here. It would not be pretty! He's a no-bs kind of guy, he really knows his stuff.
Just about every other guy on the list already IS here, but what makes "The List" great is Bob himself. If it closed up, I would be sorry to see it gone, but it sure feels like the world moved on already.
