And I'm generally really happy to see new names go by, and see what the new people with whom they are associated have to say. I think that that's the obligation we have. But I've learned the hard way since joining the IESG that I absolutely do not have enough time to do the things I'm supposed to be doing _and_ read and respond to every email message everyone sends. And indeed, as in this case, by responding I wind up increasing my workload, because interesting people reply. :)
