    That's understandable ;-)

    I wouldn't mind using a newsgroup. However, there is already one called
    "comp.lang.ml", which has very low traffic: seems that people who are
    interested in OCaml (= not SML) have all signed up to the mailing list... :)

    Instead of creating a new one, the more imperialistically minded among us
    might choose to seize power over there...

    But I think that the volume on our list is acceptably high to open a
    separate newsgroup. This would definitely lead to much more publicity. The
    direct comparison of traffic on both newsgroups would then also allow
    people to recognize the better choice ;)

    Best regards,
    Markus Mottl
