No, I haven't disappeared! The test list only perks up when something
new
is posted to it, which hasn't been the case for a few weeks due to
pressure
of other things, though there is some FMA/FMC stuff kicking around that
there hasn't been much response to yet - guess everyone is digesting it
and
hopefully trying it out before responding!
The test list has been kept strictly invitation only, mainly to keep it
focussed and relevant and to keep the amount of feedback manageable -
too
many people on it simply results in information overload and a bad
signal-to-noise ratio. There are only a couple of dozen members on the
test
list, including a few who are not on the main FTGZG list anyway.

A resounding "ditto" to this - you've done a great job, Jon, especially
seeing the sad circumstances in which you got the list dropped in your
lap.
Many thanks for it all.
