Something similar happened to [68hc12] list. They didn't delete it but it 
almost got dead. And forums are hard to read, especially to find the 
changes. That's a lot of clicking and every time you come back it's again a 
lot of clicking and a lot of old info that you aren't interested in already. 
It doesn't make a sense to reply to 2 days old postings because who will 
monitor old threads that long? And we don't have to monitor it every day. 
Well, it's just yet another milestone. It's almost always that something 
good will gone sooner or later...
