Thank you, Amir and Kunal, for all of your work on this. It really is appreciated, and the lists I am on that have been transferred so far seem to be mostly okay.
I did note that for one of these lists, the "Information" setting somehow got truncated. As luck has it, we had that fully formatted information on a page onwiki so I was able to "repair" it quickly. I also note that a non-archiving list of which I am one of the owners shows that it is being actively archived by "hyperkitty". What is that, and why is anything or anyone archiving a deliberately non-archiving list?
