[dar-list] the dar list

[Amy Whipple]

I've been thinking about this a lot lately.  A few weeks ago, I was reading
through about two years' worth of archives from when I first joined the list
in January of 02.

Yeah, the spam sucks, but it's obviously not just spam.  Something somewhere
else has changed as well.  Is it that we're all busy?  Have we run out of
Dar-licious things to talk about?  (I hope not.)  Part of what made the
community so busy before, I noticed, was all of the political discussion --
which people complained filled up their inboxes.  I also saw so many names
on there that I haven't seen since 2002.  So do we recruit new members?
What of it, though, when they want to discuss tired Dar issues?

I do miss that old Dar-list, though.  I miss Dar-chat and all that other
silly community love.

Maybe the matter isn't about Tom or USMA but about all of us.  So, in that
regard, maybe we should take it upon ourselves to fix what appears to be
broken.  If we want lively, lovely Dar-list back, then we bring it back
(with a sprinkling of spam on top).

I do still love this place, and I do still love you guys (and I totally
apologize for having been nineteen, by the way).
