As others said, thanks for taking care of the lists!
While much lower traffic these days, I still find the LA* lists 
insightful and interesting.

As for the changes, I have always used Thunderbird filtering on the 
actual address (as I think you mentioned in the thread) and have the 
emails moved to a specific 'folder', so that won't impact my filters ;-)

Does the removal of [LAU] also mean that the use of '[' and ']' for 
example for OT or MUSIC which I have also used in the past, are now 
discouraged?
