Lists not having too much traffic isn't bad. It may even be good or
excellent and mean that when there *is* traffic, it's related to the
topic, and people stay subscribed because of that.
It's also not fair to describe this list as "people who
used-to-but-now-don't use Gopher", specs and features have been
described in this list, people who wrote clients are on this list too,
and I've already recognized names in replies to this thread from people
who do run gopherholes.
