[sustran] Sustran-discuss is closed (but archives are still searchable)

[Sujit Patwardhan]

Dear Paul, Karl and friends,

I'm sorry to read that sustran-discuss is being closed down. Although it
has become clear that the forum has become inactive as members and
participants have moved to other more active modes of communication, it
makes me sad that a forum on which I came to know many others with similar
interests is going to 'shut shop'. I recall several intense discussions,
arguments and learnings from this forum and it's difficult to imagine it
will be soon part of history. Never-the-less it's also true that there's a
time to live and a time to retire and Sustran has perhaps reached the stage
where shutting it down is better than allowing it to wither away and die a
slow death.

I would, of course, like to thank Paul and his team for managing the list
for so many years but also thank many who have become friends and who have
taught me so much.

*Au revoir* Sustran, we will always remember you with fond memories.
