[COMP] Admin: COMP will be moving soon

Hello,

I'd like to give everyone some advance notice that COMP will soon be 
moving to its new home at FreeLists (http://freelists.dhs.org) sometime 
this week.  I'll be making the move as easy as possible for everyone, but 
there are always minor complications with these things...

The only thing that'll change for most people is the address to send posts 
to, which will be 'computers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' instead of 
'computers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'.  To make things easy, I'll keep both active 
for a couple of days.  Subscription requests and such will go through 
'computers-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,' but the new web-based list 
interface that FreeLists has will make things a lot easier anyway.  

Reasons for doing this?  Well, there are a few.  First of all, I plan on 
making FreeLists a service much like eGroups, only better.  The mailing 
lists offered there will be commercial-grade, advertisement-free, *free* 
mailing lists, plus webpages, and searchable, web-based archives.  To make 
things easier, I'd like to have all Avenir Web mailing lists on the same 
server/hostname (linux-discussion has already moved, the LANdb mailing 
lists will be moving over as well).  FreeLists will have more services and 
they'll all be more easily available than the things I've got setup at 
Avenir Web right now.  It'll also probably get its own dedicated server 
eventually (Av web and FreeLists are currently on the same physical 
machine).  

I realize this may be an inconvenience for some, so I'd like to apologize 
up front for any headaches.  Again, I'll try to make things go as smoothly 
as possible.  I'll keep you posted on when the change will actually 
happen.  

If you've got any questions, do feel free to ask them.  If you'd like to 
scream at me for being a big dumb ape, please mail me personally, rather 
than the list. :)
