Re: status of debian-consultants mailing list
Hi,
There has been all this talk recently about how useful this
list supposedly is. How do you reconile these tesimonials with the
fact 5that there was no on topic email here of a whole *year* ?

The list of consultants is present on the web page -- and this
web page seems to meet your use case by itself. Could you elaborate
how a list full of spam helps you further the cause?

How is a mailing list with no on topic email helping the
reputation any?

How does an empty mailing list help any? I would say that thje
lack of usage of the mailing list demonstrates that very little gets
discussed re consulting, and thus should be seen as a negative point.

And an empty mailing list helps how?

If I were to go by the last years archives, that would not be
the case. Indeed, looking at the archives, we should be getting rid
of this mailing list asap.
