@heather Here's how I'd've done it. I would've lurked meta.physics, and seen a related meta post. Then I would've mentioned the proposal in one of the comments.
@M.A.R., yes, I suppose so. But I think the good stuff that would come in would definitely be worth it. And yeah, if I get Robert to reopen it AND get the appropriate number of followers - well, I'd count that as some kind of a miracle, but I really hope it does get reopened, as I think it'd be quite useful.
