I agree.

It's there for a couple of years :-)

Only, you cannot post to it. We are prepared...

To carry over the list from Baylor to grass.itc.it is easily
done (in a few minutes, I just have to insert the list of
receipients from Baylor into our mailman).

Well, they never created an archive. That's why I created the shadow
list here and re-created the archive from usenet messages and other
sources.

Why not make a poll here? If users agree, we move it here.
Postings still sent to Baylor will arrive here in any case as
the Mailman here is subscribed as user to the Baylor list :-)
