Sounder is a valuable Ubuntu community asset.

[Samuel Thurston]

Alan Pope feels that "the Ubuntu community doesn't need this list anymore."

I feel that sounder provides a very valuable function in the Ubuntu
community. I have only my own perspective to offer, limited as it is.
As Alan seems predisposed to press the case for the closure of the
list in the face of vocal and vehement public disapproval, I'd like to
enlist your help.

What do you value about the sounder list?
