I propose (not another reason to vote !) for moving the mailing list to a
newsgroup under the il hierarchy. That way it would be easier to follow
(and have) mutiple threads, the amount of traffic is more suited to a
newsgroup, and it is easier to configure what you want to see (kill lists).
At least if we don't move it to as newsgroup, we could gateway the list
on to a newsgroup.
