Should the ethereal-users and ethereal-dev lists be moved?

Gerald (and all readers of the ethereal-xxx lists),

I think that all the remaining lists (and their subscribers of course)
should be moved over to wireshark.org.

What do you think?

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.

Automatically subscribing people to mailing lists without their
permission is probably illegal in several countries, including Germany.
Also it is unwanted, because people might choose to stay on the ethereal
development list and do ethereal development instead of wireshark
development, that is not up to you to decide.

Just inform the people that write to this list that wireshark.org is
probably the place they want to ask their questions, and let them
subscribe there on their own.

PS: they did the "auto list subscribe" on one of the gtk lists a few
years back, it got pretty much only very negative reactions.

Would it help to have a form on the site that let you subscribe to
multiple lists at once?
