to start a new list. looking forward to a time when positive feedback it
overweighing negative feedback once again, like in the first years of the
Syndicate.

oh, I have been disappointed about how things were going on this list for
quite some time now. perhaps we should think about the possibility of
"filtering" requests for subscription. I.e. only allow people on the list
who are interested in what's going on. and we should act more quickly if
things are going in the wrong direction.

yes, definitely. but now it's time to move on. and it feels good! it's time
for a redefinition, definitely!
