Gareth, Could you give us a weekly count (or monthly if that suits better) of the number subscribed to this list, so we can evaluate the worthiness of remaining? Subscribing to the digest-mode as another lister suggested is not an option for me; I've had enough problems with digest subscribers on other lists failing to post subjects, failure of enough of message responded to, etc. - it's been a real pain. Now since Rootsweb has begun posting the GenWeb board queries to some of the lists the situation has worsened - I reject the digest mode. I'd like to see the WLS-Pembrokeshire-L grow and remain a viable part of Rootsweb.
