It is sort of a curious situation...comp.sys.m6809 seems to be languishing while the mailing list is active. I wonder whether past a certain point comp.sys.m6809 will be marked for destruction because its traffic is siphoned off into the mailing list, and what the relative burden on the net is of the mailing list versus the same traffic were it sent on comp.sys.m6809?
