First, I have not yet subscribed to this group, but at one time was extremely active on this topic and continue to feel it merits top priority for all DU'er's.

Second, I generally favor a free-for-all approach.

But third, I came here today hoping to find or suggest a thread pinned to the top of the group containing recommended reading -- I'd really like to see a succinct list of books & authors on this subject, ideally with links to full texts.

So to conclude, I think I'd favor a host, but with a light hand.

(Also, I'm not clear on the mechanism for replacing hosts, if we somehow got one we didn't like. Is there a recall process?)

Thanks to everyone hear for keeping this topic going!
