[dar-list] the dar list

[Ron Rosen]

Internet lists, like other groups, have a life cycle.  How many internet 
lists about folk music are as vibrant as they were 5 years ago?  At some 
point, the magic and the interest just wears off.  People move on.  It's not 
a Dar List problem.  Certain newsgroups maintain interest over time, but 
their membership probably changes a lot.  Other news groups die out.  Most 
lists don't have a Nurse Ratchett to chastise them.  The way to create 
interest in FRFF is to post about it.  Now can I have my thorazine?
