I've not graphed a count of posts to lists. But, thelist seems healthy, and
far from "way down". It sure seems to be doing 100+ posts a day to me. I
come in after a weekend to 300+ emails from evolt.org lists. thechat always
seems to be busy. Our article count
(http://test.evolt.org/evolt/articlegraph.cfm) is showing better numbers
than the last 15 months.

The support for subscriber-only was near-unanimous from each list polled
that I saw.

It was pretty fucking embarrassing when I had [thelist] folder open on
screen with a client watching over my shoulder, to have them see "XXX TEEN
PUSSY". If the cost to near-eradication of that kinda gear from our lists is
a gradual acclimatisation to the bounces and shit like that, then so be it.
