What difference does it make for you if the iTribe list is shut down or you
unsubscribe? Nothing. You don't get mail from either one both ways, and
since you don't seem to enjoy the iTribe list, it makes sense to me that
unsubscribing is the logical thing.

Encouraging people not to participate in things they don't seem to enjoy
seems to be fairly logical to me. I wouldn't mass-subscribe the members of
the Cyberpunk or Earthdawn mailing lists to RN and then say they HAD to
stay there.

Useful posts breed useful posts. Be useful.
Taking down the itribe list and then having the new one fail on us would be
very cool. Yup. That's certainly something I want to see during this
switchover.

AFAIK the DNS problems have been resolved. The list will be moving when
we're confident that the new server can handle them.
Everyone whom I've spoke to on this subject seems to agree with me. Get
over it.
