well - it does for me, since the gels-list is not on one of
the ietf-servers, and tends to be hit by quite a bit of spam
and the IETF spam filters can't be applied; I have to sift
through quite a bit of debris, floatsam and junk to try to find
any nuggets in the stream
if I've to do that for things that the wg chairs say could go to
the ccamp list anyway I'd rather do something else.

Adrian,
when can I close the list?
