I don't get your logic. Esosoft's name is mud with list-owners so they
didn't benefit. Topica forced a quick move so that the likelihood of
list-owners moving somewhere else would be minimal. It's not easy to move a
list especially one where you had total control as Esosoft gave us. Just to
find a server you want takes time. To spring this on people less then a
week before Christmas while Esosoft new for months. In less then 12 hours I
lost control of my list, how can that be justified?
