That's exactly my feeling.

The Hawkwind groups on Facebook are fun places to be because no-one minds if members post drivel. That means they attract a large following (1,639 members in Brian Tawn's group and 1,700 members in the Bootleg Emporium) and this makes them a lively and enjoyable place to be.

By contrast the mailing lists have a remarkably po-faced attitude and they're dying on their feet.

I must admit I find the Mike/Christian dialogues a bit unnecessary, but that's why God created a delete key. It would be different if someone we didn't know came in here talking about double-glazing or cheap pharmaceuticals, but Mike and Christian are genuine Hawkwind fans and we should cut them plenty of slack.

If list members really want a totally drivel free list then that's fine, but you're going to end up with no list at all because nobody will be interested.

I'd rather have this endless stream of maybe meaningless messages that I can
delete when I want to than having to wonder every three months if this list
still exists...

My 2c, so ignore at will.
