I don't think that I have ever found a need to write anything here, before now. > Bill > _______________________________________________ > Trilug-ontopic mailing list > Trilug-ontopic at trilug.org > http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug-ontopic Brian From hunteke at earlham.edu Wed Sep 17 17:45:24 2014 From: hunteke at earlham.edu (Kevin Hunter Kesling) Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2014 17:45:24 -0400 Subject: [Trilug-ontopic] Proposal to close this mailing list In-Reply-To: <20140917175043.GA12268@bdmcc-us.com> References: <20140917175043.GA12268@bdmcc-us.com> Message-ID: <541A00F4.1060901@earlham.edu> At 1:50pm -0400 Wed, 17 Sep 2014, Brian McCullough wrote: > On Wed, Sep 17, 2014 at 01:03:05PM -0400, Bill Farrow wrote: >> I don't remember anyone objecting to closing the ontopic mailing >> list when I proposed doing so in 2013.

That said, if there /is/ anything of value, you might consider leaving the archives so that they're available for future google searches. I have much appreciated being able to access certain archived mails from other lists that no are no longer active. Kevin
