RE: eRPG mailing list (was; Future fo AS/400?? ) -- RPG400-L

I like it.

I subscribe to more than one midrange list, as many if
not most people do, so I don't think you have to worry
about cutting out part of the audience.  One list that
gets no traffic is MIDRANGE-PERL.  Maybe that should
be renamed to MIDRANGE-ERPG and allow perl discussions
to take place there.  Not that there are any. :)
