Well, I was thinking that more than 25 people might interested in joining  
the conference call. I mean we did just get around 85 people for the  
conference. Although I suppose not everyone would have time for a more  
regular meeting, I could see enough potential interest to hit 25. After  
all there are a quite a few of us who are rather interested in moving D  
forward. :-)
