The average is actually still below 300 messages per day, but this
does make it an extremely high-traffic list.  This weekend should push
the overall average below 200 messages per day. :-)

(These numbers are based on the archives, and maybe the archives
aren't archiving X-No-Archive posts.)

It's not clear to me that I am "authoritative" enough to do this.  I
would be happy to set up a "Seth's Sklyarov Updates" list (and I could
invite Seth Finkelstein to submit news items too...), but I'm not sure
whether people would find that more useful than, say, reading your
Wired articles about the case, or someone else's news articles.

If the EFF or someone else becomes legal counsel for Sklyarov, that
organization would be able to set up a more authoritative announce list.

I'm confident that the traffic here will fall after a little while.
In the meantime, I hope subscribers who find it hard to keep up can
use threading or digest mode.
