No suggestion of a "fictional conspiracy theory", but a couple of days ago 
we were happy to see that Koha belongs to the international Koha community, 
and that [American] PTFS had lost in court.

So why an "American" list? (and from another thread, "American" meeting?)

I'm in Canada so the idea that "discussion will at times [be?] related to 
issues more important to users in North America" is tempting. But possibly 
divisive, or worse, discriminatory.

Koha is open source *software*, and while translations, char sets that 
transcend UTF-8, whatever, may occasionally be nationalistic, why another list?

Ms Blake -- could you please explain why I should sign up to your new list? 
And what might be "more important" to NA users that is not appropriate on 
this list?

Thanks and best regards,
Paul
