[W126 Coupe] Decision re "new" MBcoupes mailing list

[Dan Landiss]

Gerry, "boorish" behavior is in the eyes of the beholder. Considering 
what I see on the five other lists I manage, this one is pretty tame. 
The rudest behavior I see is the failure to edit out long digests and 
other excessively long quotebacks. Fair warning: if I manage the old 
list, people who do that will be put on moderation or unsubscribed.

I am not trying to get to you to discontinue -- just setting up a 
process for better maintenance of the existing list depending on which 
way the consensus falls. If you want a new list, don't quit after just 
12 days.
