I would not know.
Neither would I. But if I were you I wouldn't count it dead yet. New lists often go through bursts and lags of activity.
Going to www.brin-l.com crashes AOL about 7 out of 10 times.
Popups and errors tend to do that when they flood older versions of AOL's internal browser. Newer versions don't usually have that problem.
I found Brin's "Really? Are both active? I was not aware of this." interesting. When his webpage changed its style a bit, I had commented on the fact that there were "judiciously" links to both of the lists.
I thought he knew.
Perhaps he'd just prefer we dealt with explanations?
