I am hoping the vast amount of research information and knowledge amassed over the years in the lists archives, means it will be retained at the least I would like to think the lists will continue, the likes of facebook, whilst having some attributes are fairly hopeless for research in a general way, not least as there are no searchable archives with facebook, once posted its almost forgotten, and you need to be in the group to even see the post in most cases, such a waste of time and information I hope researchers will eventually see the light and return to the lists and see the many advantages of them over facebook I live in hope anyway Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)
