Like Wol and a couple of others, my participation as a listener and occasional poster will stop if the medium changes from email to web or news-group. My employer does not permit desktop internet access - we do have a large and rich intranet - for reasons of security, of cost (we pay for TRAFFIC here!), and perhaps also of wanting employees to do the work they're paid for rather than surfing all day.
So yes, I'm very sad at the prospect of the lists going away and being replaced by an inaccessible alternative. My general opinion is definitely that the lists should continue. I'm fairly indifferent as to who hosts them, though I must say that the U2UG.ORG web site looks very nice, I had a quick glance from home last night. If U2UG wants to host the lists, I'll gladly subscribe, or if acm.org wants to do it, I'm up for that. If it's a web- or newsgroup-based service, then I'll look by only very occasionally, or when I'm in need of help.
