Hi Wayne,
Congratulations on your retirement. Speaking from experience, it's a great way to finally do some things that you have never had time for (like play your lute in the morning when your fingers are still fresh instead of rushing off to work). I've been on the list since very near its inception (IIRC, you wrote me an email and invited me to join based on my Usenet postings), and it's been a tremendous resource. I very much appreciate all the time and effort you have put into keeping it running smoothly, not a trivial task. I hope someone can keep it going in some form. Email lists may be old school now, but they work (and I avoid FB as a matter of principle).

Now I am retiring from my job at Dartmouth College, and when I retire the computers that I have run will be shut down. This includes the mail servers that run the lute mail list. So it is time to retire from running the lute mail list too. I will also be closing my lute web page, my lute tablature page, and "Lutes For Sale" web page. If someone wants to take up running the lute mail list I suggest that they announce it on my list in the next month, while my list is still running. My list runs using software that I wrote, and I don’t recommend that someone else try to use it. I don’t know the last day yet, but I will make an announcement when my list actually closes.
