Here's what I just received from John Madden, who owns freelists: === In case you missed it, we were unavailable from Friday night through Tuesday due to hardware loss following a lightening hit to our data center. (Weather in the central Indiana region has been absurd -- up to 12" of rain in some areas in just two days.) The damage to the main FreeLists server wasn't as bad as originally thought and it has been repaired and brought back up. Some other peripheral servers weren't so lucky and we're working on those now. Service in general though, has been restored. It'll take awhile to catch up with the mail flows that have backed up over the past couple of days, so please proceed with patience. To everyone who mailed in: Thanks, it'll take me awhile to get through all of those messages, but I appreciate the support.
