New Burma-talk mailing list to be s (r)

Subject: Re: New Burma-talk mailing list to be set up

I concur with this change 100%.  While I appreciate seeing all the talk, 
there are too many times when I simply can't get through it all.  The 
nuisance messages about people quitting their subscription are also 
unwelcome additions to my mailbox.  I hope that all BurmaNet subscribers 
will join me in applauding Strider in making this change.
