Sadly, the usage panel is no more, and maintenance of the ahdictionary.com web site apparently reduced to a skeleton crew:

I recall a blog post from one of the (former) members of the usage panel, but DDG isn't finding it for me now. Surely more than one of the former panelists have blogged about it -- anyone have links?
It's a telling comment on corporate priorities of our time that there's funding for keeping up with social "sensitivity issues", but not for dropping references to the non-existent panel from the main website. Indeed, some of those listed as active members have already set down their pen for the last time: Harold Bloom, Joan Didion.
