Seems to run excellent, thanks sam/vern. I was about to comment on how smooth the transition was. In the interest of progress for the list I would be interested in helping set up some image hosting space under the banner of liveaboardnow.org and expanding our list. I also think the move to moderated posts would be a good move.

Yes, we had an interesting debate about loyalty to Stefan but once everyone understood that this was not an attempt to "steal" the list but instead, an effort to keep the list alive, it seems like the transition went very well. Do you have info that indicates that members have been lost? Every one of the usual suspects seem to be posting. I admit we may have lost some that had lost interest and never unsubscribed but I have not heard a single complaint since the transition. I think it has been so smooth that most people don't even remember that it is running on a different server. Same/same as far as I can tell. In fact, even though Stefan has not been heard from in months, both servers remain up and operational and we have been able to test the new server to assure everyone that it will run as good or better/faster than the old. And once the old server goes away, anyone who has not yet switched over (because they don't have to yet) will be able to subscribe to the new with no problems. Anyone know of issues that we are unaware of? Sam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > IMHO > > This list is for and about boats and the tricks of the trade we all > learn.
