I'd favor [EMAIL PROTECTED], forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That way, if
a truck runs over me tomorrow, all you have to do to move the list is change
the forwarding. Meanwhile, I'll watch out for trucks.

It should be very fast. 15 minutes is typical update time, then a delay of
up to 24 hours for the change to propagate around the world. In reality,
most people will have the change within an hour or so.
My changeover is scheduled for the morning of May 17th, so I would think
that the 19th would be a good day to make changes.
