Wait, I don't get this.  You're calling /us/ spammers because we merely
suggested changing the footer of each email to point towards the new mailing
list (so people don't go hunting pointlessly for a nonexistent list), and
you've sent email after email like this?

Zeffie, this seems to have turned into a huge p*ssing contest.  The reason I
created the lists was to keep the community living on; instead some
individuals seem to have turned it into a huge contest about who can offer the
better service.  Personally, I don't want to take part in such a thing, and
it's evident others such as Jeff don't want to, either.

What do people here want?  I sure as hell don't want 5 million lists.  If we
don't centralise content, the community will crumble; arguably if it hasn't
already.  I've never, ever known the cobalt community to act this way.  I'm
dissapointed in some ways, and I really do hope after these lists end, things
will go back to the way they've always been.

Why are there redundant lists?  I can understand offering an alternative
service such as cobaltfacts (zeffie-cobalt, perhaps?), but duplicating the
same mailing lists days after we created the qbalt lists, seems that the only
reason you created the zeffie lists is because they're /your/ lists.  Please
correct me if I'm wrong, because it's the only logical conclusion I can reach
currently; I do hope it's something else.

Is there something we're doing/not doing that you want us to?  If there are
issues Zeffie, I really do wish to work out what they are.  I just, for the
life of me, can't work out what they are.

I know I'm doing this for the community, and as a result, I'll do what the
community wants.  What *does* the community want?  What do you want?
