 The above subject is off-topic for all low-end-mac lists.


How is it off topic to comment on the rehosting of the group?

who rather wonders if that's the same sort of censorship that the 
Chinese have forced Google to do :-)

I've been following Quadlist nearly since the beginning, and more recently

Even 
so, I tried to sign on but Google says (quite incorrectly) that I don't have 
cookies enabled and cannot sign up. 
So has it come to the point where even an email list about vintage macs 
requires OSX and the latest browser? If that is really the case, I'll be 
saying 
goodbye as well.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Well, I signed up via email using Claris EMailer 2. No need to go to
the web at all.

It is off-topic to comment on the politics of google.

 And to deliberately retain the subject is asking for trouble IMHO.

I will send Simon a copy of the rules so he can read for himself. Anyone
else should go to the Low end macs website as noted in the footers.

 So far nobody's been banned. All further on-list comments will be though,
I've let enough time pass for the digesters to get the message.
