Ken has done a whole lot to keep Grex alive over the past few years.  He 
is kinda the honey badger of making sure we survive.  When almost 
everyone else has lost enthusiasm for the cause - Ken is working, in the 
background, to make sure we're up.  If you get up in the morning and log 
into Grex you should thank Ken, cross & tonster for keeping the lights 
on.

M-net would despise having anything to do with Grex.  Really.  Almost to 
a fault everyone there would freak. I can't think of a good enough 
reason to force the two systems to have any joint responsibilities. I 
think jep has an alternate motivation here - to get people to run 
(against him) for the board seat.

If the time comes when we really can't support ourselves in terms of 
money or staff then I'd much rather we move to The Well where there is a 
large and thriving community of users.  The Well was recently purchased, 
from Salon, by a group of its users, many of whom have been there since 
it began in 1985.  We have much in common and I think we'd do as well 
there as anywhere.
