<div>Elizabeth,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There is nothing for you to apologize for. I am sure that all members of this list are very grateful to you. It is understandable that you have other duties which take predecence over looking after this list. All the members of the list are responsible for the inactivity. Perhaps we should all try to engage with it more actively, instead of merely reacting sporadically to other people's posts.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I suggest that you give it another few months.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Incidentally, in my view it would not be appropriate or necessary to use a commercial organisation like Facebook.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards,</div>
<div> </div>

This message is long overdue, but I have found myself in a position where I was not able to attend to Celtling list duties as vigilantly as I should. This was particularly evident to me during a recent Linguist list software upgrade where my lack of attention may have caused the list to become completely silent.
<div>
<div>At the same time, I have noticed that traffic is low on this list and has been for several years. So my question is whether people feel this list should be continued or whether another venue (e.g. Facebook or Twitter) would be better. Alternatively, if someone wants to task of reviving this list, I would be happy to turn over reins to someone else.</div>
<div>
<div> </div>
<div>I want to end with a sincere apology to the group. I would like to see a forum where Celtic linguistics information can be shared, and I regret if my recent inactions have caused the communication to lapse.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please let me know what your thoughts are.
