Because no one can subscribe to this one anymore, and administration IS a problem. Why maintain a list where any normal moderation activity is out of question. A lot of mailing list from yahoo are currently under spam attack, and the only weapon is to have an admin to kick the offenders out right away.
Part of what I'm getting at is, there is no maintenance to do on this list. Barring software problems at Xmission, it will continue to operate as is. Shutting it down, as some have proposed, would require cooperation the list owner - and if we're going to do that, why not get him to hand over the list to someone who has the time to administrate it?
I may add that if any spam start on the list, it's be MANDATORY not to answer on the list, as you'll be giving your email to the spammer if you follow my idea.
If nobody can join, there's no spam problem. :)
Also, I'm desperate to see all the [K] fan activity divided into 4 lists, as I have also the french list on top of it. This is complete non sense.
I think there are actually at least five English Kraftwerk mailing lists, though two or three of them are at Yahoo and therefore effectively closed. I don't see why having multiple lists is a problem. -- /* Soleil */
