A comment accompanied with excessive quotes, which would normally be rejected, but worth passing on:

This question has been asked before. I few people offered
constructive opinions. It was decided in the end that the list was just
fine as it was. This new query may well become a repeat of that. At the
same time it seems to me that many former voices I saw several years ago
when I first joined the list have ceased to show up. I don't see many women
beekeepers posting lately, for example.
