I strongly agree that this group is invaluable and needs to remain in its 
current format. It may be wise as well to back its content up on another 
list server such as Google Groups or Yahoo Groups to make sure cotent is 
not lost through one or another problem with the main  list.

.

It is hard to find lists of the same type as another list, but these links 
if not leading to outdated discussion group listings may be of interest to 
some on this list.
