What if the server crashes when Arnett is on vacation, or too busy with something else, or hospitalised, or perhaps even dead? It might be a long time before Brin-L will be up and running again.
Oh, it's not that I don't appreciate him offering his server to host the list; what I have a problem with is that in the current situation the list could go down for weeks without anyone being around to solve it.Lay off it Jeroen, with the possible exception of Erik, the rest of us are grateful for the effort Nick is putting in.
Well, that and his behaviour... :-(
Jeroen -- wondering if he will be silenced again over this...
