Perhaps someone should become a new leader of the KLI.  If we rely on just 
one person, we limit the life of the KLI.  This happened to the PGG in 
1996; when I stopped leading the group, it fell apart...  HolQeD regularly 
inspires people.  If one doesn't have the HolQeD, the language becomes 
uninteresting for some...
