Brendan, I think you misinterpreted what I've said in my last two
emails; spare me the hate.

To the Community: REAL has a point about consolidation; by taking the
list elsewhere I think you're diluting yourselves. I think the lists
are a great supplement to the documentation -- better than a wiki,
even. Sure, it's great to get it by email, but another great strength
is the centralized quality of it: there are mirrors and archives of
the lists, and if you're looking for info, that's a good place to
start. By starting your own lists, you're causing more redundancy
than what prompted REAL to want to drop the lists in the first place.
Diluting ourselves? Please have a reality check and reread why
people on this mailing list hate the forums. Your position that we
are diluting ourselves takes what these people have stated and
voted for with their feet by going to the new list is out right
disrespectful. Like RS, you have not addressed the core issues.
Nobody who hates the forums is saying that people should not use
them, but those who hate the mailing list have opposed their will
on us who choose the mailing lists. Who is truly diluted to think
that the mailing list users would act like lemmings and hop, skip,
and jump to the forums!? The decision to kill the mailing lists is
based on lies and no good thing can come from lies.
Have fun on the forums as you listen to sound of one hand
clapping.
