The most recent message to the Coins list hosted here at UNI was nearly a year ago, January 28, 2012. It seems that the service is no longer needed. Unless I hear a great cry of anguish for the loss, I'm going to pull the plug by the beginning of the coming week.

Agree. We had a good run but everyone has migrated to other lists. Thanks for running this over the years.

First list I ever joined...going to miss the 'ol gal.

I'd like to add my thanks for all the good work in running the "granddaddy" of the coin lists. I must have joined in about 1995 when it was one of the few around. Activity on most traditional lists seems down on what it was - "web forums" seem to have taken over now.

Certainly the Coins List was very interesting when I first subscribed many years ago, and I for one much enjoyed, if mainly as a lurker. I think it does seem that its time has come, sadly, and it has been superseded by some excellent and versatile sites such as the World of Coins.

What would you save by pulling the plug on a sparsely used service which does not consume much of your resources? I am sure it may be occupying less than 1 MB of storage and negligible bandwidth. For all you know, it might see a revival. It remains an historically important list even though it may lack many bells and whistles of Google and Yahoo groups. I have great deal of nostalgic feeling about this list.

I have not been using this list since it does not permit attachments ( of coin images) which are of much importance to me. If that can be arranged, perhaps things may change. There could be limit on size of attachment.
