Can you give the reasons that support this option?

More weight has been given that can I can extract from this your mail.
Alternatives have been suggested, criticism has been expressed (to which
you have no replies so far), and people have even offered to host/admin
the list.

Have you managed mailing lists yourself? Can you back up your last point
here?
I would it rephrase as follows. We have every reasong to believe that

things matter now.
