The problem with arocket is that there's a bit too much discussion of solids for my liking, and with ERPS the general discussion of liquids is somewhat off topic, although it is tolerated to an extent.
The alternative would be to create a new list for fluid rockets; this could subsume some of the functions of erps and arocket, but I'm unsure whether there is enough traffic to warrant it.
What does everyone else think?

But we've all benefited from discussions of other liquids, and we are performing something of a community service, since we have such an eclectic subscriber base (where else do SPL engineers and XCOR engineers publicly converse?) So I'm with Sean; while liquids other than peroxide aren't specifically "on topic," they're close enough to have a good fit here. Better than, say, monatomic hydrogen. ;-) We're also interested in the ISAS VTVL, for example, and it's LOX/hydrogen.The usual cautions about turning into sci.space.policy or rec.models.rockets apply, but they don't seem to be a problem here. -R -- "We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare.
