Carl Davidson once referred to Move-On as 8 people and a maillist.

Its local followers in Bloomington/Normal Illinois seemed to be zealous
followers of its party-line, but there is nothing in its structure or
mode of operation to hold individuals or local groups beyond their
shared loyalty to the DP, and if that loyalty becomes weak in any of its
local camp-followeres, to that extent Move-On would be weakened.
