I am very sorry to hear of your situation. I am sure that all of us on this
list are concerned not only about your fine site and list, but about your
situation. As for letting us down, well being currently involved in a
situation myself which leaves me at times wondering how I am going to put
food on the table (temp jobs don't pay a whole heap), I know that there are
times and situations that befall us no matter hard we try. YOU HAVE NOT LET
US DOWN!!! I wish you the best of luck, and hope for better times for you
in the very near future.

>Personal and financial problems are strongly indicating that my web site,

>I am currently seeking alternate hosting arrangements. In the past, large

>"bonus" by my web host. Once I tell them I can no longer host with them,
>this list will most likely cease to exist. ***I dont' know that for
>certain yet*** but it is probably likely.

>Any host that takes over my site, I will ask about continuing this list.
>I have no idea what to expect.

>There is also the alternative of using one of the FREE list hosting

>I don't know what my time frame is here. It may be a couple weeks, but

>surely will.

>I would entertain any notions as how to proceed. If you have an idea, let

>but I may not have the resources to keep it together. Even if this list
