I was on the mbz.org diesel list before this list. Seem to recall there was some sort of catastrophic server or disk failure and when recovery didn't seem to be happening, Kaleb started okiebenz and many people migrated over. mbz.org eventually/partly came back on line for a while with some of the articles but I don't think the lists ever did.
