There are no 'secret forums', just delusional people thinking they have
privacy and secrecy. The Panopticon is here to stay.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon Think of it as just another
step in the social evolution of our species.
Closing this, or any other list, does little to stop the official and
commercial spying. We have met the spies and they are us.
Deleting messages and subscriber lists is another act of imagination. If
a tree falls in the forest, and the knowledge of that falling is given a
superficial deletion; the record is still there.
Keep speaking and communicating. Forgetfulness and Privacy have fallen
by the wayside. But something useful and enlightening may still arise.

This list has had little traffic and only a small number of
posters. That's a fine alternative to social media frenzy
of aiding official and commercial spying that is fostering
the unwary frenzy to harvest its "free" bounty.
We add on the possible list closing, all messages will be
deleted, subscriber list too.
But, destroying public information is abominable, so we
are open to persuasion on this.

Except in the imaginations of the netizens there is no real secrecy or privacy
on the Internets. The powers that be have been elevated to lofty positions of
near omnipresence. Enjoy, adapt, and survive.
