I agree with that.  I think you're leading up to the right question: what
would be our purpose in trying to restart all of this?  What's the reason
someone not that interested in packet radio would become interested?

I'm kind of interested in focusing on sensors.  That's one of the reasons I
think COAP is a good fit.  But I also like the messaging idea, just not in
the form of a bulletin board.  I think what would be really cool would be
something more like an SMS application that allows for group texts,
geographical area broadcasts, and message confirmation.  The point would be
to make something that still works if the internet and the cell towers go
dark - inline with (one of) Amateur Radio's theoretical reasons to exist.
