Yes we do monitor the list, and we partipate, too.
Most people send post their wishes to the list (where I assure they are not
ignored even if we do not respond), some send them to <webmaster@stata.com>
(where they are also not ignored and you get a personal reply), and some send
them directly to me, <wgould@stata.com>, from whence you will also get a
reply.
My preference is that ideas go to Statalist because they sometimes cause
comments that are themselves helpful. If you have a long list, however, send
it to me; I always enjoy responding to good ideas.
