[Lancaster] Radical Suggestion

[Andy Baxter]

Seems perfectly sensible to me. No objections. The only reason I can see for 
the message board is if there were so many of us that the mailing list was 
flooding people's inboxes (hardly the case...). If things get a bit livelier, 
it might be good to have two lists, one for discussion and one just for 
announcements, but I don't even see the need for this at the moment.
