From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: rtomek at ceti.pl (Tomasz Rola) Date: Sun, 17 Jan 2021 21:58:18 +0100 Subject: [COFF] termination and untermination of bugtraq mailing list Message-ID: <20210117205818.GA12967@tau1.ceti.pl> Howdy, Perhaps this is off topic for this list, if so, apologies in advance. Or perhaps this will be of interest to some who do not trace yet another mailing list out there :-). Two days ago I received a notice that bugtraq would be terminated, and archive shut down on 31st this month. Only then I realized (looking at the archive also helped a bit in this) that last post to bugtraq happened in the last days of Feb 2020. After that, eleven months of nothing, and shutdown notice. It certainly was not because of list being shunned, because I have seen posters on other lists cc-ing to bt, yet their posts never went that route (apparently) and I suppose they were not postponed either. If they were, I would now get an eleven months worth of it. But no. Too bad. I liked bt, even if I had not followed every post. Today, a notice that they would not terminate bt (after second thought, as they wrote). And a fresh post from yesterday. But what could possibly explain an almost year long gap? Their computers changed owners last year, and maybe someone switched the flip, were fired, nobody switched it on again? Or something else? Just wondering. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
