I used to connect only to areas, that (at least mildly) interest me. I never do send %ALL to AreaFix of my links. I don't need links to all those hundreds of long forgotten dead areas that some systems keep in their config.

Why do we need this area anyway? Since there already is ASTRONOMY, which at least had a bit of traffic over the years.

There is nothing official about the ELIST! ;)

This is getting bigger though...
