WG/OBIT/Mailing list cleanup - Steve

Boilerplate Request

(Sent to LIST@ and LIST-owner@)

Subject: Status of LIST mailing list?

Hello LIST,

We (OBIT) are in the process of doing some house keeping on our mailing lists. Specifically, we're trying to figure out which lists are still being used, and which can be retired (aka deleted).

Are people still using this list? If yes, then just say so, and we'll leave it as-is.

On the other hand, if this list is no longer used, then please let us know so that we can retire it. (Note: deleting the mailing list will also delete any archived messages, so please consider that when making your decision.)

Thanks in advance.

2/24/2013 Wes Nickerson: "There was once a working group called Community Reinvestment, that I started. The name was soon changed to Sustainable Economy, by the will of the group. So I believe that the list you are talking about is no longer used."
