I love it. Thank you to the Creative Pony :-)

Alls we need to do is this. Now listen up closely and I'll tell you
a little story about a silly little hack.
Once upon a time, a pony was seen to be doing semaphore with her
ears from atop a a great and mighty buffalo. But it wasn't a real
buffalo, it was actually a great big rock that happened to look
identical to a buffalo. Like a floating point rounding error away
from being an actual buffalo. Really words don't do it justice..
Where was I? Oh yes. So the guys from Area 51 went down, thinking
it were some kind of alien horse, communicating messages of
destruction or peace, but when they decoded the semaphore message,
it said this
LISTEN UP HUMANS STOP WE SEE YOU HAVE SOME ISSUES AND YOU NEED TO
COMMUNICATE MORE EFFECTIVELY STOP YOUR MAILING LISTS ARE A GOOD
START STOP THEY ARE TOO DIVISIVE HOWEVER AND LACK GOOD DATA
PORTABILITY STOP WE SUGGEST YOU CONNECT THEM TOGETHER BY FORGING A
SUBSCRIBE REQUEST EMAIL FROM ONE LIST AND SEND IT TO THE OTHER STOP
THEN YOU CAN CONFIRM IT BECAUSE THE MESSAGE WILL GO THROUGH TO THE
LIST EXCLAMATION POINT IT IS A TRUE FACT THAT MAILING LISTS WORK
JUST LIKE ROMANTIC COMEDIES STOP WE HOPE THIS KNOWLEDGE HELPS AND
YOUR MAILING LISTS ENJOY THEIR DATE EVEN IF THEY LEARN TO RESENT
YOU ALL FOR TRICKING THEM STOP AND HERE ARE SOME PRIME NUMBERS SO
YOU KNOW WE ARE ALIENS 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29…
And that's the tale of how we came to solve all of the world's
hunger and poverty, and why on this special day every year, the
26th of July, we celebrate by eating a giant pizza in the centre of
the city!

There is an interesting comment on the Librelist site: "... All
archives are accessible efficiently via rsync as maildir
directories. This means you can host your mailing list archives on
your project’s site rather than directing users to Librelist.
Librelist also provides simple archive browsing for smaller
projects that can’t host themselves. ...".
I am not very Unix savvy at all but does this imply you could
"rsynch" from RubyForge? I am way out of my depth here...

Speaking of the mailing list: rubyforge sucks! Couldn't we have
something nice, like librelist? Those hackety hack guys with their
fancy mailing list put ours to shame.
_why is still the admin contact of this list. :|
