[consulting] Closing down the consulting mailing list?

[Michael Shmilov]

I think this list is very important but lately to much off-topics.
and obviously we can't expect someone to moderate/filter the topics.

How about making this list to an rss feed? I find it very useful and we can
easily browse it.

Thanks,
Michael
