I'm all for switching - last time the list completely stopped working
for some days I thought afterwards maybe now they installed new hardware
finally and this will be fixed - but the new complete failure this
weekend was the last straw for me. (Even if it's understandable.. they
have to deal with millions or so of mails every day and probably can't
afford the same HW gmail has - but anyway, if your ML means better
service.. we should switch.)

Another advantage with a new list would be that the spam at the bottom
of every mail will be gone. Very minor issue compared to the unreliable
service though.

But then, there's of course arguments for staying at SF as well, and so
far it seems I'm the only one to vote for a switch..
