Heya! I have noticed that it is really very quiet here recently. Now I do not intend to get rid of the list because it's not in anybody's way (and all the spam gets filtered out and never reaches anyone but me and Maarten), but still, I was wondering if people would actually miss it if it were

Hi Wynke, I think the answer is quite obvious: www.msx.org right now is more or less the place where most MSX-ers meet each other. Would I miss the mailinglist? Probably not. Should it disappear? No, it should stay anyway... Best Regards, Arnaud - Original Message - From: Wynke

That is also why I think banning certain persons (in particular, I am talking about GuyveR800 from TNI here) is a Very Bad Idea. In the end, GuyveR800 was banned because of a (strong) disagreement with the msx.org staff, and as an end result can thus not participate in that part of the MSX
