However, while it It is true that I started the list, soon afterward, Dan Ellis, currently an Associate Professor of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Columbia (http://www.ee.columbia.edu/~dpwe/) agreed to run it and has been doing so in a gentle, hands-off way ever since. It's he who keeps the membership lists in order, and makes sure everything is working properly. We should offer him our heartfelt thanks for the success of the list.
