[Trilug-ontopic] Proposal to close this mailing list

[Richard O. Hammer]

The way I remember, around 10 years ago the main TriLug email list (not this 
"ontopic" list) contained lots of high-volume discussions about politics, pizza 
shops, and everything else, with only maybe 15% of the content being on Linux.

That was the motivation for creating a separate ontopic list, for people who 
were interested in Linux but not the other stuff.
