Okay, I've moved it to the inactive group; it already shows up as such
in archives, and www will be updated as soon as it rebuilds and
propagates to the mirrors.

As for actually shutting it down in Majordomo, Marc is the man.

That was 6 months ago.  I doubt anyone remembers it.  Make another 
announcement, so that when people get the "unsubscribed" announcement, 
they're not confused.

Might want to make an announcement on that list first.

BTW, what was the reason we didn't pull the trigger before, when we
retired the other lists?  Just an oversight?

Because the same people who complained just now complained back then as well.  
So we retired the lists without objections first.

Please clarify what you want done on the majordomo side ... I saw one 
comment about unsub'ng everyone ... for archive purposes, this makes 
sense, I just want to make sure before I blow them all away (and I will 
unsubscribe them without having a blast of emails go out to them) ....

I will also mark the list as 'inactive' ...
