[Baypiggies] Let's welcome the new year!

[Max Slimmer]

Personaly I don't need another list to subscribe to but as long as it would
be included in the standard list, I guess it would allow people to avoid
some of the noise on paypiggies list, though it isn't that busy either.  No
objection, but to me whats the point, I would want content of both.
