I hate to disagree, because it doesn't really matter to me where the Team
chooses to work so long as you keep giving us great toys, but one advantage 
to giving it up would be finding a few more qualified people to help spread 
the workload.  At present, the only way to be a Team member is to be good, 
be dedicated, be invited, ... and be willing to pay for a Compuserve account.  
There are lots of people who would probably make great additions to the Team 
were it not for the fact that they'll never switch ISPs, and can't justify
the additional expense of a Compuserve account.

There are other comfortable and private environments on the Internet at large,
though they might require some acclimatization: private news servers, private 
FTP/web sites, invite-only IRC channels...
