I suspect mailing lists could still out-live Facebook. I hope so anyway,
otherwise for something better ;)

Sounds good. Thanks for the heads-up :)

Re: (313) Defining Detroit

I've been a long time 313 subscriber. Then got a few years off, now I'm
back. I must say I like the list to be "low traffic", as it gets more
specialized and not so noisy as it tended to be in the past. All in all, I
must say the list has done a wonderful job of self-regulation. I guess in
our hearts everyone knows the list allows for some freedom, and we try to
use it wisely. It's still a pretty high quality list, in my opinion.
