Hhhhmmmm,
Looks like the list is still alive, I guess.
For the past 15 years I always followed the list through the Archives.
If hikers are still posting on the list, it does not show that in the 
Archives.
The only post on the October Archives is the 10-1 2018 post by Mike 
trying to sell his sleeping bag.
Looks like posts are no longer listed in the Archives.
