Well, first off, most people are loathe to have to subscribe to yet another
mailing list, or heaven forbid, actually have to use a web-based forum where
you have to search for information (without it being pushed to you).

That said, here are some comments on the groups you mention (many of which
I'm a member of)...

The 100 E-mail a month comprise a repeating group of about 25-30 E-mails
containing information collected by Jim Mancuso on EL facts (timetable info,
stations, etc.) There are rarely any other posts (I think I've seen one post
in the past 6 months other than Jim's repeating group)

I think I get 1 message every 6 months from this list.
