My emails are taking a very long time to get back to me which means I am not approved as yet.

Welll, now that the JAWS-Users list has been shut down, which happened abruptly and without warning last night, this list is likely to become even more active.

Yeah, it was pretty sudden. The main moderator (I think) said that it had been brewing for quite a while, but I really saw no evidence of poor behaviour at least in the public messages. Everyone has different standadrs, I guess.

It is a poor, poor list owner indeed that just shuts down a list unannounced. It simply isn't done if you have any integrity at all. The content created in lists and their archives may be "mechanically owned" by a list owner, but are actually owned by the membership. It is always possible to permanently lock a list, and walk away, leaving the archive content accessible if there is no one who you'd care to hand it over to. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 Many of the insights of the saint stem from his experience as a sinner. ~ Eric Hoffer

I’m not always so good at “reading” peoples’ emotions twhom I don’t know in text, and I guess what came across as a bit of grumbling was actually some kinf of emotional distress. Don’t know what was going on behind the scenes or even if he tried to hand the list over to someone else. Perhaps there were no takers. That list existed for a very long time, too…

JM,
My central point being, if you want to walk away from list ownership, that's fine. But you can do that without literally taking it offline. It's a simple matter to either lock the list and walk away if you want to encase the current content of the archive in amber and have it accessible for others (or at least members, if it was a private list) to search or to announce that you're walking away and the list is now unmoderated, making sure you throw open the permissions before you head out the door. Either of those is a more decent and reasonable thing to do than just closing up shop and blowing it up. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1903, Build 18362 Many of the insights of the saint stem from his experience as a sinner. ~ Eric Hoffer

I'm not sure what list you are talking about, unless it's the JAWS users list of that same name. I left it quite a while ago, because I was chastised for not being a passive follower of all things VFO. The owner appeared to be on a power trip with a very heavy hand. Too bad it's gone, but no surprise.

I didn’t realise the archive was also gone. That’s pretty bad; there were years and years of data there.
