O-A remains one of the few email discussion lists I actively subscribe
to. Most of my subscriptions are passive, in that I manage them through
Web-based services like Yahoo! Groups and don't allow them to send me
email. I just get way too much email to allow for many discussion lists to
come to me directly.
Consider that high respect for your list, though the activity is not what
it used to be. The format may be antiquated by today's standards, but
newer isn't always better. And I say that as a contributor to a Web 2.0
site (SEOMoz), so I'm not exactly trying to live in the past.
Good luck with wherever you take O-A. I'm not planning to unsubscribe any
time soon.
