I have been watching the number of messages being posted in this list - 
and the number has been declining at a very fast rate.

Years ago, when I first started in being interested in computers and 
posting/reading messages (all this if Fidonet), I was told by an 
experienced person that the lack of messages in any forum means a lack 
of interest of the subject.

That is, nobody gives a rat's about it.

You start "moderating" people from this list, or even the other one 
dealing with -ubuntu, you won't have anyone left to post or read this list.

And, in your profession, you should know what I am talking about.
