If one more member can register dismay at the list closing prospect, add to the litany of seekers to please reconsider, and also ask:
is it because of money? server share of costs, etc (or would it be tolerable if there also be an other incarnation as a Yahoo offshoot)? is someone's time been stringed too tight? could the burden be shared? or, be alleviated? could the list go on un-moderated status? that, given the light, sporadic traffic, would require pragmatically but an occasional glance, and even rarer control? There is certainly serious work to be, yet, done in the area, and so it seems quite paradoxical that DSS / Orion chooses to shut down now. Certainly ANE and IOUDAIOS are important lists, and aspects of DSS can be discussed, and maybe even on occasion more appropriately -- as per the cross-list, topic comparative focus-- there. Yet, there are issues, central to the DSS, that can be properly discussed only at a specialized list, I think. Anyway, keepers probably knowest best. If we could only be let in in part of this a-knowing... May I say that long time members here I think really deserve this?
