So far, everyone has voted to change the actual list, and not just the
list description et cetera.

If you disagree with this sentiment, please post soon, and state your
reasons.

If I don't get some major pushback from several list members by
Tuesday (14 Mar '06), I will ask Peter to create a new list called
"slim-vim at lispniks.com" and mass-subscribe everyone to that list.

I currently plan to delete from the Slimpl list everyone who voted, on
the assumption that you know wtf is going on :), and leave everyone
else subscribed.  If you have not voted, you may of course delete
yourself from the Slimpl list on your own, or get your vote in and
I'll delete you, too.

Thanks everyone!
