[sdiy] new list: synth_diy @yahoo

[Csaba Zvekan]

Good point too Cheater. Now I'm really confused on what to do . I  
guess it all comes down to whether we are able to ban people that are  
not behaving on this list. I really don't want to abandon this  
valuable list with it's members as it was so helpful for all my synth  
problems in the past.
The reason to join the other list would have been more a moral and  
loyalty issue . Still I believe yahoo group application is far more  
advanced and has more features as this with all respect GNU - based  
Newsletter with minimal or no security .
Either way I will go and do what the majority will decide as the heart  
of SDIY are the people and not the application.

Hmmm ... sounds a bit philosophical but it's true.
