Though I did respond to the moderators directly, I will also say here that I
echo the feelings that this list is both valuable and unique in its ability
to concisely keep me in the computer loop. My impression however is, that
at least one of the moderators, had pretty much made up his mind against
continuing this list even before asking the question. I too hope this list
will remain active for I do not agree with the moderator that it is easily
replaced with other more modern mechanisms. Newer isn't always better. I
think the moderators have done a wonderful job of keeping the list on topic,
helpful, and efficient. I'm sure moderating a list is tedious and perhaps
they just want to move on to other things. However, I do appreciate what
they've done for these several years, and I too hope the list may continue.

I have to agree with Deborah and Severine, I really enjoy this list and feel
it is a valuable source of information with out the irritating dribble that
one gets on so many other lists. I know that if I have a techy question, I
can post it to this list and get an answer. I had not responded to the
moderators inquiry earlier, because I know that I can't be a moderator. So
you could say that my motivations are purely selfish. Anyway, I am truly
hoping that this list can continue with the top quality moderation that we
have enjoyed up to now.
Thank you very much for a job well done.

Hi listers,
Why should this list disappear? Is it so linked to Maelstrom that it =3D
won't survive its disappearance? I would also be really sad if it =3D
stopped! I totally agree with Deborah qualifications: low-trafiic, high =3D
information, etc.
What needs to be done to insure its survival? Do the moderators need =3D
help to assure its transfer to another server? Maybe people who are =3D
interested could form a little group to investigate the possibilities?
Or is there a more fundamental reason to stop the list?
Thanks for your answers,
Great day to everyone.
