this is one of the basic points to be remembered:
developers need feed-back & wish-lists from real users;
also, users have been known to become developers.

it would be important, but long experience of such affairs tells me
that developers are far too busy -- even if they had the interest --
to want to monitor anything other than lynx-dev.
the value of lynx-dev as it has been for the past couple of years
is shown very clearly by the amount of traffic it has always generated
& the way in which new faces have regularly appeared.
apart from that, we all need to say Thankyou more readily when appropriate
& we need to insist as a group that members remain polite to each other.
