I second the motion to keep the DML as it currently is. I've been a member 
since the beginning (I was one of the first 10 to sign up) and I think it 
works just fine as it runs now.

The only thing I would like to see improved is the search engines. For 
example, it'd be nice to have a fielded search ability and the ability to 
do boolean and range-based searches. For example, you could search for any 
message written after 1/1/98 with the words tire and tread within four 
words of each other but not written by Billy-Bob Tucker. ('cuz you know 
ol' Billy-Bob runs retreads on his DeLorean anyway). It'd also be nice if 
it presented each message individually instead of the results being in 
digest form. But maybe I'll take that one on myself here shortly.

I'd also like to thank all those involved in making it happen from David 
Takeuchi to James Espey, to the current team. This list played a VERY 
important role in my decision to buy a DeLorean and, despite Ed Bernstein's 
opinion of it, is a great asset to the entire DeLorean community.
