[FRIAM] Is this list dead now

The world is a high dimensional space and we are comparatively low dimensional beings.   It is surprising communication occurs at all.
Better to have a world of aliens than twins.   Yes, I recognize that at least half the country disagrees with me.

lol well said Gary, on my end anyway I get SOME traffic, I don't know when exactly it started to really dry out on my end anyway. Possibly 3-4 weeks ago was when I really noticed.
I know on my my end to get any ones opinions or advice on or even just to say a friendly hello, it seems like I need to do so  many times--That comes off as rude.  I want to be wrong in that case and I want it to be a technical problem.  It'd really suck if it's because people are leaving  what used to be a pretty vibrant list.
As a concrete example I've seen nick thompson need to ask a few times just for advice on firefox.
Yesterday and today because I really want to pick up the pace on making friends, and finding stuff I'd enjoy doing and even getting a new  set of resume and job helpers.
I don't expect instant response lol but even a simple: Oh I'm sorry Gil I (or we)simply don't know! or friendly ribbing  goes a long away to kind of assure people oh, it's not actually dead quite yet-
lol but you might be right that it's turning into that infamous Norwegian blue lol

Preffering as I said in another email to be a open book or just open about questions, curiosities or what ever just ask.

That leads to the awkward question then: If people are leaving and or it's a technical problem, Anyone know how do-able it is to give either the current list a fresh coat of paint or somehow smoothly transition into a general fun witty bantery type of list. As I have no clue how email lists get set up and going "just" may simply a petty heafty task ^_^

I've gotten a lot of FRIAM postings from Nick, Frank, Marcus, and Glen lately about philosophy regarding belief and doubt, so it doesn't appear to be dead. However, it doesn't seem to be getting officially archived any more, which is a shame. I believe Glen said that he keeps all emails, so he probably could be tapped to supply the missing posts should anyone decide to resurrect the archive by combining the old archive (from web.archive.org<http://web.archive.org>) with Glen's posts. So far, nobody has stepped up.

Simple question:
Is the FRIAM list now basically dead? It seems like the previus witty banter is now MIA, hardly anyone posts or reads it anymore, Edd and possibly others complain it's not (THING HERE).

So is this list now dead and or MIA?

Does that mean someone needs to start a new one?
