[Electronics-talk] thinking of switching to an Android

[Christopher Chaltain]

I think you're getting your lists mixed up. The vi-android list is a 
very lightly moderated but well behaved light traffic list. The 
eyes-free list is unmoderated, incredibly high traffic, more off topic 
than on topic and has more than it's share of ignorant Android fan boys. 
Obviously, I think you're referring to the eyes-free list and not the 
vi-android list, which is what was suggested below.
