I guess at least one person was doing a fulltime job for several months to make it happen. In the end it was open for spambots for one or two days which was enough to flood my inbox since then with significantly more and annoying spam. I probably have to change my e-mail adress... The only advantage was the opening for less community aware members. (I still wellcome them, but it needed a lot more "educational" explanations how a list community works, and the fluctuation on the list of course is much bigger as well.) This made a lot of sense for cycling, as they do sell software and there is a need for this sort of support. I doubt the loopers-delight community would benefit much from it...
