No!  No Felix, no you won't.  Absolutely not.

If you kill the list I will kill this puppy!

I don't know about the others, but I rarely visit the mastodon.
I want my beef lean, so forget the fediverse, mailing lists are the
best medium for this kind of discourse!  Small, slow and beautiful.

Soon they will be as retro-chic as vinyl records.  

I think there are enough people here who are willing to put in their 
2 cents to keep the list going.  Let's work it out!

Cheers,

Wolfgang
