Isn't it more appropriate if no one excepts it on behalf of everyone :-)?

Or the reverse could be interesting "everyone accepts it on behalf of 
no one", or maybe even better, the silent majority quietly accepts it 
:-).

Take a bow everyone, pat your nearest (nethead) neighbor on the back, 
and say thank you and Happy Holiday Season to them/you....uhhh, us.

Seriously though, we will send a note to the editor of Time magazine 
building on some of the points in the article and will evaluate other 
ways to mark this on our web site.  We also encourage chapters to 
post it on their sites as appropriate and note 
individuals/developments that made a difference in your countries.

Warm wishes to all,

Lynn
