Of course, dimesio. I just have a faulty 'brain' and somethings like names are a complete mystery to me on some days.
2.  Split the mailing list away from the forums.  This was originally
debated and several Wine supporters left because 'we know the spam storm
is coming and I don't want to deal with this.'  This option is dead and
was rejected by the majority (at that time) of the mailing list and
forum users.

I'm well aware of the long history of mailing list users' animosity towards the forum, which is precisely why I noted that if the two were split the mailing might actually thrive once again. IMO, the fact that that option was not the one selected initially is no reason not to ever reconsider it in the light of changed circumstances.
The situation changes, options change and some options that were not considered in the first place now become the best options.
