For a number of reasons I am considering terminating this list. Here are the factors I am contending with: 1. The number of members and amount of on-topic content has been steadily declining. There is little sense in maintaining a list that no longer has a reason to exist. 2. Recently most of this list's content consists of spam, which contributes to declining membership and frustrates the few remaining members. 3. The number of bounces from large mail providers such as Hotmail and Yahoo is steadily increasing, which in turn gets this list and others hosted by smoe.org labeled as spam by those providers. This obviously affects the viability of smoe.org as a host for fan-oriented mailing lists. Please let me know, either on or off the list, how you feel about either staying the course or moving on. Until we reach a final decision all future bouncing mail accounts will be removed from the list immediately. Thanks for your time. Take care, Chris ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2002 15:04:03 -0400 From: "Chris Beckwith" Subject: Re: Attention Lauren Christy fans Thanks for the show of support, everyone. The reason this list is still around is that, despite the relative lack of new information about Lauren, there appears to be no other viable forum for discussion about her elsewhere. Efforts are underway to better intercept spam and virii; I'll keep you informed on that front. Bottom line, this list is staying put. Take care, Chris ------------------------------ End of breed-digest V3 #37 **************************
