Perhaps you missed various posts in Cobalt-Users about cobaltfacts being
in existance for some time, and that we hoped it would be used by members
of the community to foster discussions, forums and lists...or perhaps you
missed the announcement that Ryan of Qbalt had just started lists to
replace the current Sun sponsored ones...and apparently you never saw my
invitation to make your site a part of the CobaltFacts webring.

There are quite a few of us that have been working on creating a Cobalt
community for some time, and we'd welcome your and others' participation.

There's strength in numbers.
