Answer: the official lists.
I perceive a need, maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong. I've just seen one too many thread killed by the moderators to agree with you.
When I say the rest is up to you, that's what I mean.
If the list actually does turn out to be useless, I'll just kill it. Graham, if you don't like the idea, then just don't subscribe.

Thanks for the encouragement, Graham.

If the list fails, it'll be discontinued.
Do we really want a flame war about this ?

Good question. What's the answer ?
