This is just a reminder that Team Amiga has an alternative alternate
list on Freelists, as a secondary backup precaution against
technical difficulties with our primary list and the primary backup
at Yahpp. It was established in August 2006 as the replacement for
the mailing list service provided up to that point by Owlnet. It was
set up and maintained by the late Gary Peake, and continues after
his passing without moderation.
For the reason of the death of the primary maintainer of this list
and the fact that the Freelists organization stores and archives all
posts to the list (unless they include the header line
"x-no-archive: yes"), it was supplanted by the current list host,
World News Trust. However, it still works and can still act as a
backup to the backup.
Joining is simple. The Freelists list is a straight up Majordomo mail
system. Just paste "teamamiga-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" into the To:
field of a new message and hit SEND.
You'll get a Confirmation request. Just send it back and that's it.
No setting up an account with Freelists or anything if you don't
want to and Freelists will not know any more about you than any
other owner of a
Majordomo-type group. But your posts will be archived unless you
include the header line requesting it not be.
You can also go to the Team Amiga group page on Freelists with a web
browser - <//www.freelists.org/list/teamamiga> - where you will
find this information.

It's always good to have a backup to the backup.
Thanks, Kelli ... and you worded that so well. ;-)
I wasn't sure the Freelist thing was going to continue after Gary's
passing. (Who can manage it?) I know I get a message on it from time
to time, so it's still going along on autopilot, I guess.
Anyway, "It's always good to have a backup to the backup." :-D
