I just looked at this "Experimental navigation list" and I don't think this was a good idea. Our old list was not so bad, after all. Ok, few messages were delayed or even lost, but this does not happen frequently, does it? I tried to register for this new list and was immediately asked about some Google account, password etc. So I strongly prefer to stay in the old list while it exists. And I think that there are noo good reasons for having two lists on exactly the same topic, same members etc. There was no substantial split in the interests in this group, and the group is quite small, so why to start a second list? I am also in favor of "no attachments" policy of the old list. But the greatest loss from my point of view will be the archive of the old list. Even if it will not be lost completely, I think it is important to keep it publicly available. Without any passwords, accounts etc. Alex.
