No not *anything* -- it's still "@delphi.org.nz". A useful rule of
thumb to use is: if it's likely to be of interest to a significant
number of DUG list members, it's unlikely anyone will complain.
The longer a thread gets, and the less directly relevant to Delphi
programming/programmers it is, the greater the chance that
someone will (correctly) deem it to be offtopic.
It's not a matter of bedsides at all -- you should aim to pre-empt
complaints by careful use of the list, not await them and then
complain that they have arisen.
Re: the recent virus and open/closed list issue, I'm with those
who say "close the list to list-subscribers only", and not do
anything other than that which would put any further load on Nic.
What we've got is great, a conservative step to keep it intact is
fine, but shifting bases is just plain nuts.
Thanks for all the efforts, Nic.
cheers,
peter
