[Drake] Admin: Closing the list

[David Harmon]

Just because this list has not had a lot of activity does not mean that
activity will not increase.
If the list is terminated I guarantee that activity will NOT increase!
Let's keep the list available for all!!

I think the point Jim is trying to make is the other than the responses to
his inquiry the list has been dead.. All the very good reasons to keep the
net that have been mentioned here are not valid if the none of the reasons
have been used in probably a couple of years at least.

Sad to see anything boatanchor related pass into history but totally
understand the work involved.  I would suggest yahoo "Drake Radio Operators"
as an alternative, which is a closed group.  The "Drake Radio"
group is unrestricted and seems to be overloaded by spam and advertisements.
