edebate's estate

[Michael Antonucci]

Let me echo Scott's thanks to Phil. I think, in both this and other
projects, you've advanced the community's interest tirelessly.

I think you should do precisely what you want to do. If you feel that
maintaining the listserv is rewarding, you should do that. If you feel that
it's a pain, you should pull the plug - or let it fall into disrepair. It
isn't doing any harm, but the effort involved in making it fast again might
be prohibitive.

I have one small concern. What about the archives? It seems that measures
should be taken for executing e-debate's estate. Will they be maintained at
the current location? Is that costing you? I'm sure that hosting is
available at any number of places.

Honestly,

I have not understood any of the "problems" with edebate. Its really easy to set up a listserv on Yahoo or Google. Messages are automatically archived and the main job of a moderator is eliminating bouncing addresses which takes almost no time.

I'm not sure what Phil is or is not doing, but even a luddite like me can set up a Yahoogroup. Personally, I think the message boards are not so useful b/c they are more time consuming. Its much easier (imho) to delete irrelevant messages. What is all the drama about?


cheers,
