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 to disappear...
Yes, definitely.
So, what do you guys think? Will the list still be used in the future? And where do people go these days for their MSX news? Not comp.sys.msx on Usenet, I think, it seems nearly as dead as the list... Which websites do people frequent instead?
I personally do not read comp.sys.msx, and do not intend to. Everytime I do, I see few messages I personally find interesting. msx.org *is* a good resource for MSX-related news, however they do not hesitate to censor and ban people and thus is not a place open for all.
The list may not see as many messages as it has in the past, but it is still a good place to make public announcements, which will then be received by many people. If I want to make such an announcement, I write to [email protected] first, and only after that look at msx.org and comp.sys.msx. Also, there is still the occasional discussion.
With regard to reading the list, I think you have insight in the number of subscribers and the amount of bounced mails... I'd say pretty much every mail which arrives at its destination is read (actually, keeping up with the mailinglist is a lot easier now than it used to be in the past :)).
So, I hope to have banned these evil thoughts from your mind ;p.
Bye!
