    I think most of us who actively participate on the list feel the
    same way, although a news group MIGHT be better for those people
    who only "lurk" on the list.

    Microchip already has a web page and a BBS (accessible,
    incidentally, as a set of newsgroups).  I don't think they'd
    want to take on the additional responsibility of handling this
    list.

    Moreover, I think the list quality would deteriorate if it were
    run by Microchip... It's important to have a non-moderated
    (non-moderated by Microchip, I mean) forum for discussion of
    their products.
