I'd be happy to contribute to the blog but, to be honest, I doubt if I could add anything new to the comments from so many illustrious and eloquent people.

I'd say you should post and sign something anyway ~ feel free to be brief ~ just to build up the number of people seen to be supportive of this effort.

It will definitely be more fruitful to post to Jack's blog page than to this thread (if it comes to a choice between one or the other, which of course it need not be). Everyone should make some kind of contribution to the blog ~ one brief note is enough ~ because it is public (not members-only like this thread) and serves as a central repository for statements of support.
