Yep, I've noticed that too. I guess the question in my mind is whether
the list should be further fragmented into platform-specific lists.
If any of you have strong feelings about this, please

(1) subscribe to the full list by sending e-mail to

listproc AT seas DOT gwu DOT edu

with the 1-line message

subscribe gnatlist your_real_first_name your_real_last_name
(PLEASE use _your_ real names!)

and

(2) express yourself there.    

The point is that, even though my creating that list arose out of
something of a misunderstanding, it does exist now with 115 members
(as of a few minutes ago), so I think discussions of its future should 
be mostly among its members, rather than its non-members. Since a 
subscription is free and traffic (so far) is low, you have nothing to 
lose but a few extra e-mail notes.
