Not my dog in the hunt, but if it was me (and we are in the same kind
of round boat here on the Olympus List) is to just do a wholesale
changeout to an entirely different method. Listserves were important
ages ago before forum software grew up and other methods developed.
Oh, and we now have multiple other social medial alternatives that we
could tap into.
Of course, no matter what solution is proposed, somebody ain't going to like it.
