Guys, a word of warning:

I can predict quite confidently that this list would not survive the
creation of an iRC Channel and Usenet group actively pushed as an
alternative.

It is my opinion that we are at a level where the groups momentum sustains
it through dry posting spells. at the moment we have a high point.

I am again convinced that the only reason the IRC Channel has not already
done damage is because a *very* small number of people use it.

I have seen this happen on a Bike mailing list I was on, where the group
tried t  hive OT posts off t  a chat forum on a website. The reuslt was a
complete loss of traffic, and eventually almost everyone moved t  a
compleely new mailing list, set up to be "just like the
original".

Ian.
