[Linux-aus] some lists to remove

I think that having lists with no traffic on the list server does no good and 
just confuses people who are looking for lists with actual traffic.

https://lists.linux.org.au/pipermail/lugcomms/

This one has no real traffic since March 2021 and there is nothing about it 
that couldn't be done on this list.

https://lists.linux.org.au/pipermail/advocacy/

This one has no traffic other than spam and fraud attempts since at least 
April 2023 (I didn't read further than that).  I think this should be removed 
and the archives of spam and fraud should be deleted from the web site.

https://lists.linux.org.au/pipermail/aslug/

This one has no non-spam traffic after Feb 2014.  This list and the Flounder 
list are both suitable options for Alice Springs Linux users.

https://lists.linux.org.au/pipermail/captioning/
https://lists.linux.org.au/pipermail/barcampgeelong/

For these the archives are empty, it says there was never a post.  An error in 
the archives or were they never used?

https://lists.linux.org.au/pipermail/cai-qld/

This one has only spam and fraud since June 2024 and I didn't read the 
previous archives.  I think this should be removed and the archives of spam 
and fraud should be deleted from the web site.  If there is someone who is 
going to use the list then it should be kept but different settings are needed 
to avoid spam.

https://lists.linux.org.au/pipermail/cbsupport/

No mail since 2009 and no answers to questions since 2008.  Is a list for 
newbies even desirable now as everyone is using forums?

https://lists.linux.org.au/pipermail/chlug/

This one has only spam and fraud since June 2024 and I didn't read the 
previous archives.  I think this should be removed and the archives of spam 
and fraud should be deleted from the web site.  This list and the Flounder 
list are both suitable options for Coffs Harbour Linux users.


I'd be happy to review the archives of all the lists to determine which ones 
can be removed if the council wants to action it.
