American Scientist and Sigma Xi appreciates the attention that has been given to the September-Forum and fully intends to maintain the archive indefinitely. The web and list services will be maintained even if the hardware at some point requires replacement. The September-Forum Archive for the year 1998 is visible at the following address:
http://amsci-forum.amsci.org/archives/september-forum.html We have no plans, that I am personally aware of to move or disturb this archive. Additionally, Forum participants are encouraged to continue using this list service until the 1999 September-Forum list comes on line in late August of 1999. Again, Thank You for your participation in this Forum and The Programs of Sigma Xi and American Scientist Magazine. Don Hunter Don H.
