Back at the beginning of the year when Coollist went down, I
connected to their home page and sent emails via their help line
and also to four other email addresses that i found at the site.

They were never acknowledged.

I suspected at the time that the system had been abandoned and
was running on autopilot.

This time I suspect someone has switched it off altogether, and
it won't come back.

A great pity as it offered a very good service to one other list
I was subscribed to, which couldn't come to Freelists as it
doesn't fall within their "technical matters only" criterion.

It was good while it lasted.
