Just a note to mark a trend. I subscribe to twelve different mailing lists.
The five most busy have traditionally been these:

     HP3000-L
     su-talk (a Summit Information Systems list)
     ECOLOG-L (a list for members of the Ecological Soc. of America)
     evoldir (a professional evolutionary biology list)
     aslcnm (the Astronomical Society of Las Cruces, an amateur society)

In the old days, before HP killed MPE, the rankings above were the order of
the various lists busy-ness'es, with each list being about twice as busy as the
list below it, although on some days, su-talk could challenge HP3000-L.

Over the last year the busy-ness level of HP3000-L has fallen dramatically.
And this week, and today especially, for the first time that I can remember,
the HP3000-L has fallen below the aslcnm traffic level.

If anyone is trying to predict what the "HP3000 community" will be like after
2006, this trend certainly isn't promising.
