I subscribe and so does everyone who got this message (since you sent it to the list) so I suspect this will not have much impact on us who are using the list now. All of the big lists I participate in require subscription. The vserver list is relatively low traffic so why not subscribe? If people are concerned, a wiki page can be created that explains how to subscribe in digest mode if they prefer it (and if it's available) My vote is to go ahead and make it a closed subscription > > 2) do we want martin to maintain and further > improve the existing solution > Martin is doing a fine job. Martin, just so you know, being a mailing list administrator is apparently like being "the sound guy" in a performance... no one even knows you're there unless there's a problem. Keep up the good work. > 3) are we able to tolerate/ignore the unavoidable > spam every day/week/month > The SPAM level is low and certainly tolerable. Please, folks, if we decide to keep the list open, just ignore the spam and don't reply to it. > 4) do we want the mailing list to become a medium > of communication and cooperation for linux > vserver > Yes, of course. It is archived and readily accessible using Google. There is no better medium than this for finding help.
