I still read occasionally, if only to see what Greg K is trying to tame next ;)

Looking through my emails, I joined Stanski's list in 2002 (15 years!? eeep!) and moved across when the sever was in death-throes and Connors stepped up. I see a few people still posting from when I started, which is a decent track record given the period of time.

I'm hesitant in changing anything, just because I likely wouldn't log into a website or whatever else to view the content, and I suspect that old habits die hard for many others.

Cheers everyone :)

    Yep, If we keep the actual list email address consistent then all we
    are changing is the implementation of said list.

    I think it's a good idea to keep the primary function of the elist
    as it is. Anyone currently subscribed to the list will be on the
    replacement. It should be the same list, just delivered by a
    different backend.

    They can remove themselves if they decide they don't like it
    (perhaps more traffic isn't what they want, or it's not applicable
    to them anymore and they forgot they were on it... whatever the
    reason).

        That does worry me. First, I don't agree with broadening the
        scope of the list as it benefits from being niche. Secondly,
        moving to a new environment, while exciting, could spell the end
        of the list as many spectators won't bother making the move across.


    Probably pretty low risk if it can still function as an email list
    (which doco says it does).
