I think Pieter does an admirable (and sometimes thankless) task well.
If he is happy to do so, I think he should continue to do so.

Before people start thinking that it is a good idea to start having
ballots and other forms of palace revolutions in order to get this
mailing list run more `democratically' (ie: more to *their* liking), I
would suggest that they have a look at the current state of the
newsgroup rec.collecting.stamps - a fine example of a newsgroup which
has been renderd unusable because of factional electronic in-fighting
between disparate groups of people who think that the group should be
used for purpose X or Y, or that activity A or B should be barred. It
has got so bad that I don't even look at the group any more, even
though I am a keen philatelist.

We do NOT want the shogi-l list to go down that road.
