No, but they might get annoyed when someone complains that something
they want to see isn't happening.  My point was that less than 4 weeks
ago many of us were involved in such a discussion.  It will pop up 
again but requires someone getting the ball rolling.  Rather than complain
that it isn't happening on your schedule or how you want to see it, I 
suggest you get the ball rolling.  That's how most of the folks here have
been getting subjects off the ground,  They make a contribution rather
than complain about something not happening to their liking.  They are
taking the bull by the horn.  And there have been some *really* nice
contributions from the folks here on many different subjects.  We just
got started barely over three weeks ago and it has been amazing! :-)

You just submitted a request for subscribers to send in their anecdotal
stories.  This is a good start.  It would even be better if you start your
subject with your own anecdotal story.  It helps to generate confidence in
other contributers as to the purpose. Compiling it for the web archive 
page is a great idea!  :-)
