Hear hear!

That's the kind of rational non-emotionally charged argument I can support!

Hi,

The traffic on programmingblind is ten times that of program-l,
measuring from Jaunary to August 2011.
Over that period programmingblind had 171 active contributors,
program-l had 56 active contributors.
So programmingblind has three times as many active contributors.
There were 22 authors actively contributing to both lists.
ProgrammingBlind is also a more descriptive name than program-l.
So, given all that, I think it would be better to move the program-l members
over to programmingblind rather than the other way round.
I can make my quick and dirty Python script for these figures available
to anyone who's interested.
