Not really, or at least I haven't. Everything I've suggested has been  
with the fact that we have our own server, so to speak. Obviously the  
final decision of what to be done with said server rests with with  
Phillip Mak, but that's between him and the admins.

That said, I remember that time quite well and list traffic is low  
enough that we could tap yahoo groups for it. In fact, the Yahoo  
groups mailing list that was set up during that time is probably  
still active.
