I am going to subscribe, of course, but I think a separate list is a bad
idea. For one thing, the archives will not be easily findable by the
public. If there were a way for our posts to get into the archives it would
be better. For another thing, many listees with syncros on the main list
will miss all the really great posts.
I am against this move, but delighted to have a new syncro list. I am going
to sign up right away. It is almost unfair to not forward our posts to the
main Vanagon list, however so I don't know what I think.
