Sunday Salon: New members

Incredibly enough, we now have 48 members in the Sunday Salon: I just added four new members to the participant list and group feed this morning.  I'm pleased and very surprised that the idea has caught on as well as  it is has.

Currently I've been alphabetizing the member list--both the regular list and the pulldown menu, which some of you have added to your blogs--alphabetically by author name. I'm wondering if this is working for people or if it would be more convenient to organize it differently, e.g., by blog name or by order in which people became members. Or something else. If anybody has any thoughts, please let me know!

UPDATE 2: The response wasn't overwhelming, nonetheless I've made some changes to the membership list. I've reordered it so that it's alphabetical by blog name. We now have 49 members! I'm kind of amazed by that. And I think that the point Maxine makes in the notes is a good one, that we tend to know people by their blog names rather than their real names. So, alphabetical, ignoring initial "The"s and "A"s. And it's entirely possible that I made some mistakes while alphabetizing, so if I did, please let me know.

UPDATE 1: What a fool I was! Why ask a question when you can ask a question via a polling widget?! Salonists, please let me know your thoughts by taking this poll:
