<div>Dear All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think that the ultimate goal</div>
<div>in coronal loops science </div>
<div>is to understand how coronal heating</div>
<div>works for closed magnetic fields.</div>
<div>This is really a very general</div>
<div>problem in solar physics going</div>
<div>well beyond coronal loops.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best Wishes</div>

<div>Although Ed's plea to talk to larger communities has some merit,</div>
<div>it is really the smaller focused workshops that allow for in-depth</div>
<div>discussions that hardly take place in huge meetings (like SPD, AGU, COSPAR, etc).</div>
<div>There is just too much on the table at big meetings, so that we get lost</div>
<div>in superficial discussions and parallel sessions. I think we need both.</div>
