After years of tranquility, the second evangelist appeared in  my
surrounding within two weeks.  [0] I do care a lot  for  positive
discussions. Preachers are usually destructive and annoying in my
eyes. It's not because of their topics (although they are  seldom
technical  or  scientific)  but  because  of their behavior: They
don't treat others as they'd be on the same level as themselves.


Don't change List-IDs of mailing lists if you change  the  list's
address! See RFC 2919:  [1]

     4. Persistence of List Identifiers

     Although the list identifier  MAY  be  changed  by  the
     mailing  list  administrator  this  is  not  desirable.
     (Note that there is no  disadvantage  to  changing  the
     description  portion of the List-Id header.)  A MUA may
     not recognize the change to the list identifier because
     the  MUA  SHOULD treat a different list identifier as a
     different list.  As such the mailing list administrator
     SHOULD avoid changing the list identifier even when the
     host serving the list  changes.   On  the  other  hand,
     transitioning   from   an  informal  unmanaged-list-id-
     namespace to a domain namespace is an acceptable reason
     to  change  the  list identifier.  Also if the focus of
     the list changes  sufficiently  the  administrator  may
     wish  to  retire  the  previous list and its associated
     identifier to start  a  new  list  reflecting  the  new
     focus.
