My two cents on this .... I think the recent list problems have mainly
been due to how people have been using the list rather than due to
limitations of the FreeLists technology, which seems to work well for the
JAWSScripts, Program-L, and other lists. I agree that is dumb for list
server software to get confused by the word "subscribe" in the subject,
and other such anomalies, but think they have generally been rare and not
interfered with the general functioning of the list. I think that
changing to Yahoo or Google sounds like it would create as many problems
as it solves. I suggest we stay with FreeLists but try to manage the
human interface better, including more regular intervention by the
moderator, less flaming, and perhaps monthly reminders about list
commands, and a FAQ if we can find a volunteer to write one.
