There is no traffic on the list.  I have a feeling that, people are just
ignoring it.  When I proposed shutting the list down a couple months
ago, less than ten out of two hundred replied.  It was those few that
persuaded me to keep the list active.  Due to the large amount of
indifference to the proposal, I did not ask for feedback regarding the
initial move.  After the move, there was an exodus of people leaving the
list because of the move.  While I handled the move poorly, there
indifference told me that, they did not care where the list was.

I am still contemplating this.
