I think there is no need to do anything. As the expression goes, "Why flog a
dead horse?" I haven't unsubscribed from the LRP list. There isn't any need
to. The list is effectively dead. There are a very few posters asking LRP
questions. Nobody is answering them. In a way it is very sad.
I have an ethical problem. Should I just let them hang? Or should I direct
them to the Leaf-user list?

Again, there is no need.

By the way, I didn't comment earlier. Your rough draft looks better than my
polished prose. You do good work.
