As Matt Mullenweg once quoted, [0]

  Pruning is an important and necessary step in growing roses. Pruning
  keeps the plant healthy. It promotes new growth, removes dead, broken
  or diseased canes and trains roses to a desired shape. Pruning
  encourages flowering, either more blooms or larger blooms, and is
  essential to keep modern rose varieties blooming repeatedly all
  summer long.

[SLUG] Time to close down the coder's list?

2012-01-31 Thread Erik de Castro Lopo
Hi all,

I was one of the people who originally asked for the coder's list
and now I'd like to suggest that it is time to shut it down. The
reasons are:

  a) The list has almost no legitimate traffic ( 1 email a month).

  b) Moderating the list is a pain in the neck. I'm currently moderating
 3-5 spams a week on that list which is simply not worth the
 effort.

Committee, what is required for this to happen?

Erik
