When considering what will be missed when/if ADS no longer has its big

meeting with MLA --

Remember PDE. Discussions in the Present-Day English sessions made rather

direct contributions to the planning for the Atlas.

I've found the Lexicography Discussion Group to be interesting. And sometimes

Language & Society has good programs.

And some of the other lang/ling sessions, such as Language Theory, often

are organized by spirits kindred to ADS members.

I'm not arguing against change -- just inserting some little reminders.
