That makes more sense.  :-)  My favorite form of redaction meeting is 
actually the one where the host or guildminister/head/big kahuna 
provies a recipe as "homework" two weeks or so in advance and 
everyone brings their own redaction, with a *synoposis* of their 
redaction efforts.

We could do that on line, y'know.  We couldn't taste-test each 
others' efforts, but we could take turn posting period recipes and 
then go away and redact for two weeks, try out our efforts on willing 
spouses/guilds/guinea pigs, and then post what we found out.

I like the community-building aspects of these lists, and this 
strikes me as a way to combine the sharing and the research 
components and come out with a quasi-useful end product.
