Lack of a list is not the problem here.

Ironic really. But I suppose we could encourage people to sign up to
Dectek, if the Random list gets no traffic I'll just delete it.

I don't run mailman on my mail server (and am nowhere near it, SSH
over 3G sucks) so this was the simplest setup.

  Don't get me wrong, I (and others I'm sure) appreciate the thought.
It's just that the lack of a list really isn't the issue.   Either this
list has to become more hospitable to the friendly chatting that every
one of us very obviously wants to do, or we have to move that friendly
chatting to the other list and get into the habit of keeping it there.

  Shit...at this rate it'd be easier to make THIS the "friendly
chatting" list for the socialization of the group of friends that have
formed around HECnet, and create a separate list for zero-noise hecnet
operations traffic.

  Johnny?   Your thoughts?
