Dear Chris,
Thank you for the years you have been waiting in the wings to tweak the system
when some new internet update throws the list into a spin.
As a recent member I can only say that during the time I have been on the list I
have greatly enjoyed it.
The format is just one of the things I like about participating. If I’m busy I
can come back to it and catch up at the end of the week if necessary. Having the
list moms available at almost all times is a great benefit for those times when
I just can’t get past the current sticking point.
Having a place to discuss this one simple, archaic though it is, thing that I
greatly enjoy is only second to the fine group of Galoots who encourage with
compassion for the poor sods who just don’t get it.
If you are willing to shoulder the burden once again I will gladly support you
in any way possible.
As long as you can keep my participation from coming to the attention of the
home moms.

Thanks.  Actually, I'm not opposed to being the long term maintainer
of the List on my server, but never having managed a list this large
(I've managed Mailman lists with around 50 users in the past), I
wanted to leave myself a little wiggle room should it turn out to be
much more than I was expecting.  So I think I'd characterize my server
as a probable long-term home, but certainly a stopgap, should it turn
out to be too much for me to handle.

I'm also not opposed to using a Mailman hosting service like one of
the ones you found, but I think that'd be a backup solution to having
an interested member (like me) host it.

Cheers,

Chris
