[Avodah] Administrivia: List Merge

[Micha Berger]

On April 22, 2000 we split Avodah by topic, believing it was the only
way to maintain the membership of some of Avodah's members. Avodah
would continue carrying Torah-only discussion, and Areivim would carry
"everything else". In that way, people who only want to spend their time
discussing Torah would stay on by opting out of Areivim.

I don't think that decision is necessary anymore. First, people having
more tech-savy about how to manage their mail, and higher expectations
of how many emails are to be expected daily. Second, we now have social
media, suited to absorb a number of quick exhanges. Email lists are more
suited for discussions that require more time for thought, a chance to
revisit days-old questions, and the room to describe something at more
length, or with more nuance.

So, I don't get the sense that people still find Avodah / Areivim to be
an overwhelming flood of email.

I therefore want to fold Areivim back into Avodah. (Barring a member
uprising.)

Tir'u baTov!
