But, since we are mostly system admins, I *do* certainly believe that we
represent a very significant group of people whose experise and
understanding of the issues ought to be available to those who ARE
creating the laws.

If we don't try to guide the process, who will?  Lawmakers who don't even
have email addresses? 

I find that more than a little bit frightening!
