True :-)

Let's use SF for the moment then. I've got a bit on at the moment, but will
hopefully have some time over the next few days to set it up.

Cheers,

Hi!

Ugh, no, please not yahoogroups. I really can't stand them, butt ugly
user interface, advertising all over the place and they change settings
from time to time without your knowledge, especially if you migrated
several egroups/onelist/yahoogroups accounts to one central yahoo
acount. Lost about half my mailinglist posting abilities due to that
problem (of course I still get the lists, but can't post there any more,
because I am not subscribed with the "right" address - of course I am
not, as they dumped the "right" address).

If we run it at the same place, we can use sourceforge, I'd say. Or you
set up an A record for lists.pycs.net and host a mailman instance (or
point that over at one of my servers and I run the mailman instance
there). At least it's a list manager written in python ;-)

> Sounds like fun :-)

Yeah, I recovered most of it today, but still have a large platter of
cake, some staples of cookies, a pot of dessert and some potato salad
left to eat. Christmas is _not_ good for you health ;-)

bye, Georg
