I hadn't thought of that, but it's true. What's wrong with the list
isn't technical, it's that most posts are newbie stuff or weird feature
requests.

In the 20 years I've used dia, Inkscape has been playing catch-up, and
Inkscape still has a perfectly functional mailing list. I've always
needed to convert dia to Inkscape before making a real graphic, so,
well, if the mailing list is taken away, maybe I'll just find non-dia
ways to make block diagrams and network diagrams.

Yes. And the funny thing is, other mailing lists have dealt with these
things quite nicely.
