[Ansteorra-missile] Please read - question from List Admin

[Mike]

Vote against combining the two lists.

If both lists are such low volume, then do away with both and just post 
to the kingdom list - Ansteorra.org. That way everyone in the Kingdom 
would be aware of what is happening and perhaps might get a couple more 
people involved. By eliminating both lists would lessen the load on the 
people who are admin to the various lists.
