Why do you (and Pandit Singh) want to deprive those of us who enjoy the list
environment of that environment?  Create alt.extropians and I'll read it,
but talking about "moving" the list to a newsgroup is pointless, because it
ain't gonna happen -- not as a conversion of the structure, anyway.  It is
possible (though I wouldn't bet on it) that once alt.extropians gets
established the participants in the list will one by one drop the mailing
list, taking the "action" to the newsgroup, so that effectively the mailing
list will have been converted to a newsgroup (like Indiana will be converted
to Illinois if everyone gets up and walks a few hundred miles west).  Would
that satisfy you?

Mr White, I _have_ true freedom of speech, unhampered by Harry or ExI, and
so has anyone else who can send mail.  Everyone on the extropians list whose
ear I value has a mailing address known to me, and if I want to address them
I can send them mail privately, and Harry need never know.  (That's a couple
of dozen people at most.)
