I don't consider myself a WP Pro, as I've mainly only generated themes<br>
from existing layouts (something I'm expecting to change once the<br>
demands of clients and a full time job ease up.) But even lurking has<br>
been a good thing.<br>
<br>
With 22 years of software development, I've seen plenty of things<br>
change. It would be nice if the loss of this list wasn't an<br>
additional one.<br>
