Hi All First of all, thanks to the moderators for having accelerated the moderation process for this list. And apologies for digging up a message midways in a last-year thread. But I thought again of:

Is this true? when I visited www.digitaldivide.net yesterday and saw the red warning: "This is a static archive of the Digital Divide Network content. Due to the extraordinary amount of spam being posted and traffic to the site from robots overwhelming the site with inappropriate content, TakingITGlobal can no longer afford to maintain and manage the site content. However, you are welcome to browse the wealth of content on the site. Blogs can still be contributed to the site via RSS syndication, and member profiles are still active!" ... and realised I had no idea when it had appeared, as I had not visited the site for a long time. And from the apparent lack of comments (so far as I have checked in my gmail archives) on the list about this new archive status of the site, I am probably not the only one. So in a way, this answers Taran's question: maybe we don't need a common live site anymore. But it is great to have an archive and a common feed-reader of the (RSS-imported) members' blogs - even though it is a bit sad that the change was due to spammers.
