As a result of all the recent telecom mergers here in Denver recently, the service provider we have been using to host MapInfo-L is getting its plug pulled Oct 6 and we have to move the list. The domains csn.net and sni.net will be cold and dark after the 6th. The new home is going to be at Directions Magazine very shortly. We will be running a more up-to-date majordomo server so we will finally have digest capability, faster turnaround and some other goodies. The rules and guidelines aren't going to change and Scott Elliot (owner and publisher of Directions Magazine) has assured me that your email addressed will not be used for any other purpose than the MapInfo-L subscriber list. I'll still be doing the caretaker services, and my address here isn't going to change. You will still be able to receive individual emails, but now digest mail will be available. You will also be able to read mail in the Discussions area on Directions Magazine's web site. Things will work basically like they do now, only faster and there will be more features. Another change is that there will some MapInfo-oriented advertising in the new email, but the form this will take is not yet decided. We need to figure out a way to make it all worth everyone's while. Ideas or suggestions anyone? Your email addresses will be moved automatically in a few days, so all you'll have to do is change where you send messages. You'll also all be sent a new "Welcome" message that has all the details and commands for working with majordomo in it. If you don't want to have your address moved automatically, then you should unsubscribe before addresses are moved. I will let you know a few days when addresses will be moved. I'll announce the new server and list addresses real soon now after we finish testing. This note is just a "heads up" to open up the discussion and give people time to make any changes they want to make. Does anyone have any special requests or checklist items I need to add to my to-do's to herd all you cats over to the new list? Questions? Comments? Discussion? Objections? - Bill Thoen ------------------------------------------------------------ GISnet, 1401 Walnut St., Suite C, Boulder, CO 80302 tel: 303-786-9961, fax: 303-443-4856 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ctmap.com/gisnet ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
