Reading this got me to thinking... it's all well and good to have 
discussions on the newsgroup that Asimov should get rid of x, y, and z
programs, but does the Asimov maintainers actually know about it? I mean,
is it known whether whoever maintains Asimov actually regularly reads the
newsgroup?

As pointed a while ago, c.s.a2 isn't the last bastion of the A2 in the
world, and it's already been demonstrated that a certain person (not naming
any names ;-)) has driven a lot of potential readers off the newsgroup. 

So, what I'm asking is:
1) Who actually is/are the maintainer(s) of the Asimov site?
2) Do they regularly read c.s.2 and/or Delphi?

Just curious.
