If the topic can't even support a mailing list, I recommend that it be banished to personal conversation, not moved into the alt network because "alt will allow us to do this". Perhaps if the mailing list has truly failed, Eiji might offer to take over its maintenance. A mailing list with fewer than a hundred members is much less load on the network than any newsgroup, even an alt group. Alt.test goes to an estimated 2500 sites according to the August Arbitron results -- 25x the load. -- {dasys1,ncoast,well,sun,ihnp4}!hoptoad!gnu gnu@postgres.berkeley.edu
