I do not understand anymore. Have I not read somewhere (in an email by Frank Mehnert, I think) that the decision to close this mailing list was reversed and that it would remain active? If so, there is little incentive to keep 2 mailing lists on the same subject active.

Hi Charles, I don't recall seeing anything else from Frank with regard to the list closing. Did I miss something? At any rate, I think we're covered. I've got the vboxusers.org web page up and working. It's just a quick and dirty page that's intended to point to the working list. My concern was Oracle's list closing and orphaning all the list members. Now, with the web site being able to point to Fernando's sourceforge list the chances of us all loosing touch will be reduced. The mailing list that I set up on vboxusers.org is working, but there's no need for it with Fernando's list. Now, we'll be set if some of the Sun/Oracle employees sign up and participate on their own time.

Please, Lew, I assumed the concensus was that the sourceforge list was the one to use as a replacement. In fact, over 100 people have already joined the sourceforge.net mailing list. Let's not continue confusing things, otherwise this will end up looking like a comedy of errors...
