[Collisions] OARC Mailing List Cleanup

[Warren Kumari]

So, after more consideration -- the ICANN NCAP[0] project[1] is underway;
while I suspect that this mailing list is not likely to be useful (other
than as a place for snark :-)), if it isn't hurting anything, perhaps we
should leave it until NCAP wraps up...

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad idea in
the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of
pants.
