You have my +1 for the Welcome and Security_Talk ones.

I do think that there were legit reason for splitting
Education and Hosting off into separate lists.  The
fact that their underutilized /at the moment/ doesn't
necessarily mean they're worthless.

In particular, I think the Hosting list is kinda dead,
because of the financial shape Tri-LUG is in. We talked
about needing some additional hardware to do some of the
cool things that we want to do, in terms of hosting...
but the funds simply aren't, afaik, available to do
a lot of that stuff now.

I should disclose that I'm biased here. I was one of the
original participants in that group, and consider it
to be somewhat of a "pet" cause.

The Education list I'm a little more indifferent about, because
I was never involved in it's activities.  Still, I think that
/when/ the Education group has a project to work on ( like the
Charter School thing ) they can justify a separate list.

So, I guess I should say I vote:

+1 on the Security_Talk and Welcome lists
and
-0.5 on the Education and Hosting lists.
