Given the source of EFF (real people living real lives) it will never disappear, sort of following the tradition that everything that went into EFF was recognized and validated rather than having been "invented." I've long held the belief that EFF belongs in K-12 as well as adult education and hope that the connections along those lines here in Maine will continue to be looked at and strengthened. Having the 4-EFF listserve to reach out to others for input and reaction will be a great help, and I join Jeanette in hoping to have this valuable resource continue.
