I suggest: -keep this list active for a while, but forward new posts to the new list. We will see some dupes maybe, but won't miss things. -when somebody subscribes here, include the info about the new list, but allow the subscription just because you don't want to miss out on new blood. -when we see posts from this list, on the new one, we can encourage those people to join the new list. -if this list does not see activity for a long time, kill it then. -everybody here post info about the new list, charter, etc... to their favorite haunts in an effort to help mitigate the fingerprint problem.
