Shannon,
The Internet is not 25 years old, unless you invented it before Al Gore. (:->)

It's not that simple! Similarly dormant are BeyondHomeopathy, and also Homeolist, which is descendant of the very original homeopathy list, Lyghtforce. I'm still a member of each, and have been for what, anywhere from 25 years (Homeolist / Lyghtforce) to whenever each of those others was started. It wasn't overregulation that silenced Beyond or Homeolist, and they are all still there, ready to be brought back to life, for different purposes and to different tastes.
It's just that everybody wants to be where the people are, and that has become Minutus.
My understanding is that he was put under legal threat of having the list shut down. Maybe there was more to it than that, but that was my understanding.
Anyway -- I always thought it would be great to have each of those lists stake out its territory and draw different groups to it, according to their tastes. We (I am drawing this as the combination of Minutus and also the now-sleeping Homeolist, Beyond, and Open, and probably another one or two I'm forgetting) -- we have lost some people and input that we had "in the early days" that I found EXTREMELY valuable and interesting, but non-classical and so they were chased away. If I knew what list they might be hanging out at instead, I would include that in my "library."
