Re: Should this list be shut down?

Hi Erik,

I'm still on this list. I'm afraid I don't have anything interesting to 
say, but I'm always hopeful that someone else will contribute something 
worth discussing...

I'm glad the Infoanarchy wiki is still up and alive, I haven't check it 
out in a very long time.

I'm not worried about one virus email coming in through this list when 
I've got 1500+ junk emails a day from elsewhere.

Sorry that doesn't help you decide whether to keep the list going or 
not. I admit there is a good chance I wouldn't notice if it 
disappeared, but I also think it might have some potential yet...

Anybody else still interested in discussing stuff here?
