[Talk-us] deletion of talk-us-bayarea?

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi,
If the only reason to have a local talk-list is to host mapping
parties, then meetup.com is better designed for that (it will find
newbie mappers easier). (& itoworld, you can find everyone around)
Otherwise, keeping the discussion 'more open' is best. imo.
Ie. If your talking about importing stuff, then imports@ works.
If its about tagging, then tagging@ works.
And transit@ stuff and div@ etc.

'cause most of the stuff talked about is always 'trying to define
standards internationally, resulting in better websites :)

(and less lists to be on too)

cheers,
Sam
