while I understand keith's point, I dont understand the point of 'running the list requires resources'. Unless the list is moderated (and I dont think it is), running a yahoo list requires almost no effort.
What would be better, imo, is to allow the biofuels-biz list to continue, as a low volume biz-only list. If people would stop crossposting every single thing between both lists, the biofuels-biz list could take on a life of its own, as a low-volume resource of information that is independent of the biofuel list. --- In biofuels-biz@yahoogroups.com, murdoch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If I understand correctly, Keith is proposing that the needs for the > biofuels biz list have been more or less fulfilled and that in part > due to time constraints, he is going to wrap-it-up and just keep the > biofuels list up and going.
