He does have a point. Jimbo founding principles did have something
about keeping mailing lists open. I would hope that this applies to
foundation-l as much as wiki-en-l, which I believe predates the
foundation mailing list.

Do we have a mailing list historian around here? I know I could look
back at the earliest archives, but a personal touch would be nice if
there are any, ahem, *real* dinosaurs around here. Any of the 2001
crew still subscribed?
