If I understand correctly, Lee has been running the listserv alone for all 
these years. Jonathan is able and willing. I agree - go for it.

Jonathan, it appears most want to stick with an email service as has served us 
for so many years. I’ve seen your setup, you have  plenty of capacity & speed, 
I guess the only drawback for you or Bill to handle the server yourselves would 
be the horror of something happening to either of you, or your equipment.  
Hosting from a large firm would keep the group going independent of just one 
person & the drawbacks of failed equipment.  Years back I used a server farm in 
Cincinnati, they had been up 24-7-365 for years without any downtime.  That 
will be difficult for an individual. 

Is Lee willing to turn the database over for the group to port to whatever is 
chosen next?  

John

Hi Jonathan,

Go for it. I don’t have the time or the skills. So please do get it going.

[MacGroup] Re.: New Mac Group list

2020-02-10 Thread Jonathan Fletcher
I also don’t do FaceBook; I LIKE the focused bandwidth of a listserv. I do NOT 
like the massive time-sink that is characteristic of the popular social media 
sites.

I asked Lee if he wanted to work with me to get it up and running elsewhere and 
he told me that Bill Rising volunteered to take it over. I reached out to Bill 
to offer support and he hasn’t gotten back to me.

I have plenty of bandwidth, and hardware to put it on.

Alternatively, I ran across a pretty cool listserv alternative called Gaggle 
that might fit our needs. It’s only $5 a month for up to 50 members (free for 
up to 20). I don’t know how many people we have, so I have no idea where we 
would fall on that spectrum. 

Do we have a consensus building in any particular direction or should someone 
just declare it and the rest can decide whether they want to join or not?

What does everyone thinK?

Is Bill on here? Do you have a plan yet?

We should probably decide sooner rather than later.

Jonathan
