Should this list be shut down?

First, apologies for the couple of email viruses that got through. My
email address is unfortunately in quite a few people's address books,
and viruses pick up on those to send themselves under fake names.
Because the email address is the only authenticating feature for most
mailing lists, faking the right address is enough to get spam sent to
the list without moderation. Anyone who knows a way to deal with this
problem under mailman (perhaps a real name match requirement?), please
let me know.

Second, I'm not sure keeping this list running is necessary - most of
the people on it seem to have lost interest in discussing matters of
peer-to-peer journalism. I don't want it to end up as a zombie list that
is used for nothing but transporting the occasional virus or spam. So
I'd like to hear from you if we should keep this list running "just in
case" ; if I don't hear anything I'll presume there's no real interest. 
FWIW, the infoAnarchy wiki -
http://www.infoanarchy.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Homepage - is faring a lot
better and turning into quite a useful resource on this and other
subjects. We'll soon upgrade it to MediaWiki, which should help in
dealing with the wiki-spam issue and allow for more structured
discussion.
