Dimitry's email came in later because I had to "Accept" it in the admin
settings for the list, and I only saw that after writing mine.
As for hijacking, I see no changes to the current list. I have merely
provided a way for those not currently present on campus to win beers,
which is, on some fundamental level, what ECE phi is all about. That it
serves another purpose is merely convenience. =)
Revival will proceed when I get back from Spring break in a week.
