Sorry for the cross-posting -- eliminating cross-posting that is
actually a goal of this message.

Since requests for help are often intermingled with development issues
(and to a lesser degree in the other direction), and to reduce the
need to subscribe to multiple lists, I've merged the CLSQL-devel
and CLSQL-help mail lists into a single, new mail list: CLSQL. I'll
still keep CLSQL-announce as a low-traffic list for announcements,
though, an announcement hasn't been made in years. I'd be happy to
merge that list as well, but I think it does make sense to have a
separate list for traffic-sensitive subscribers.

One potential issue with the merge is that if you have subscribed to
CLSQL-devel and CLSQL-help with two *different* email addresses, both
addresses will be included in the merge so you might get duplicate
messages. But, mailman does make it easy for you to unsubscribe one of
the email addresses.

A second issue is that archives will remain available on clsql-devel
and clsql-help web sites. I will look into merging those archives into
the new mail list's web site. But, I'm not sure that will be feasible.

Barring a good argument against (or at least a few desparate pleas), I
plan on implementing this change in the next week. However, if you
have concerns or objections to this change, please send me email
directly (off-list).
