Y'know, at first I thought this was a good idea, but the more I think about 
it, the more I don't really see much point to it. If someone isn't 
interested anymore, it's easy enough to unsubscribe. And if they aren't 
interested anymore but are too lazy to unsubscribe, well, so what? It's not 
hurting us to keep sending them messages from the list. But if we delete 
anyone who doesn't respond in a set time, we may inadvertently prune some 
lurkers who are interested but not active on the list or are away for a 
time, or whatever. So unless there's some other reason I can't think of for 
some list housekeeping, I think we should leave all the current list 
subscribers on it. Just my 2 cents.
