Some updates: I've started the list being archived at the Mail Archive, see:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Note that their interface gives the viewer the ability to send email directly to the author of a post via a button on the bottom of the page. I am assuming that they're pretty careful about how that button works, but do let me know if you suddenly start seeing spam or anything odd in the way of replies to posts. And Alex contacted me yesterday, and will get me a data dump of the existing archives soon. On Friday, August 31, 2012, John Scully wrote: > Anne, I am willing to take a stab at this.

John, thanks very much indeed! You just said all the magic words, you're hired. (And you've got me by only a few years... But, no, I refuse to consider us old. :) So... progress, gang. We'll keep you all informed! Anne
