"The list is run on *their* time and energy."
-----------------------------------------------------

What an insipidly stupid comment. What "time and
energy"? For the past several years, they, the
so-called "moderator" included, have done nothing
whatsoever to promote the list, or take part in or
guide the discussions. They don't read the messages.
Spam stays in the archive for weeks and months. What
a pitiable excuse for "them." And now "they" want to
shut it down.
