[LAF] Future of LAF mailing list

[Ian Gregory]

Since sending out the below message, apart from four delivery failure messages the only response I have had is from Adrian Williams who hasn’t used the list in a long time and doesn’t mind if it is deleted. So I am going to go ahead and tell Aktivix that the LAF list is no longer being used.
