Calibus and I corresponded quite a bit on the birthday list. We were both quite disheartened by the lack of participation after so many wanted to be included on the list. He may have decided it just wasn't worth the trouble, and I can't say I blame him. If you agree to participate, then PARTICIPATE!!!
If, and when, it get's going in March, participate if you're on the list. If people are added, then you too are expected to participate. Let's give Calibus some time and see if he responds to this post.
