Hey Larry, no problem.  I think people have really moved away from mailing
lists like these and on to forums such as vwvortex.  The server is used for
other purposes so it is no extra burden to me.  The list software running on
the server is getting quite old and I haven't made any updates in a long
time.  However, I am not opposed to moving this list elsewhere, but I don't
think it will be of much value now with the traffic way down.  I could help
out by providing the list of all member email addresses that were imported
long ago when I took this list over.

take care.  Chad
