I now see that the secondlifescripters lsit has been closed - https://lists.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/secondlifescripters

The secondlifescripters archive does not have any sort of "this list  
is being closed" message on it.

Could I perhaps enquire to any Linden reading this as to why the list  
was closed, whether it was deliberate or not, and perhaps could we  
have it opened again?
