I wonder whether revisiting the idea that I previously suggested, of 
moving the lists to groups.io, might be worthwhile.

Whilst this list was previously quantified as having about 680 
subscribers, I think that less that about 20, are active (and, I readily 
accept that I could be wrong, in that estimation), so, I wonder whether, 
if the list was moved (that is, excluding the list archive, but starting 
a new list to replace this one, and, similarly, for the announce list, 
at groups.io), and, finding how many people subscribe to the replacement 
lists; whether the number of subscriptions to the replacement lists, 
would approach the threshold of 100, being the limit for free list 
hosting at groups.io .
