Okay, since I've deleted lists with wild abandon recently, I guess I 
should explain.  "Deleting" a list on the old (current) system 
consists of moving its directory from "Lists" into "Old Lists" and 
cycling the list server.  This is actually the same whether it's a list 
that will never be resurrected or one that's just on indefinite 
hiatus... I'm a pack rat.  Restoring it consists of moving it back and 
cycling the list server.  There's cleanup work on the web site (which 
tends to never get done, a bad habit), but that's it.  On the new 
server, it will consist of moving the directory, and that's it.  No 
restart necessary (though a rebuild of the pbemlist.html files would 
be in order).

So I tend to do that with very little provocation, just to keep people 
from signing up to a list not knowing it's on hold.  Normally, it's 
pretty trivial to recreate it.  However, for the next week or two, I'd 
rather not.  If pestered sufficiently, I will... on the new system.  This 
means you get to play guinea pig (well, you already are, right here, 
but your players get to, too).
