[PROPOSAL] close poi-users

Hi all,

We have a "users" list primarily because everyone else has one.  
Secondly I though that the traffic would be unbearable.  However, I 
think at this point the best thing for the POI community is to close the 
users list and have everything go through the poi-dev list. 

Disadvantage:
* Confusion "Where's the Users' list?"
* Traffic for "passive users"
* Some users won't necessarily transfer to the dev list

Advantage:
* Passive users are forced to become active
* Users will be more easily made aware of development issues
* Less cross posting
* More supportive of a cohesive community

What do you all think?

-Andy
