are you going to post to both lists every time you post something then? or should all subscribers new and old then just subscribe to both lists?
it's an amazingly bad idea Jeff.the new list was made because it looks like the old would never return. but it did. there is no indication that the instability will remain so the new list has absolutely non justification for existing.
should down time persist then maybe.even if David Roden wasn't at the helm of the new list it would have no merit.
enough wasting time with this nonsense. I'll unsubscribe the new list On 12-04-2010 20:13, Jeff Shanab wrote:
Right now I recieve messages from both lists in the same inbox. The client filters on "[EVTECH]" in the title I have to look to see which ones it came form. Like I said before, leave them both up. Listen to both and send to whatever one is up. A poor mans replication. As far as I know there is no archive so syncing them is completely un-necessary :-) Right now if everyone sends to the old list, that is all we will get. If it goes down, we send to the other list and viola, we all suddenly get messages from that one. We just tested this for a week ;-) eric@xxxxxxxxx wrote:Roger, The existence of the list was the very problem that precipitated the creation of the new list. It's easy to say in hindsight "the list is here [now], and we don't have a reason to abandon it." There was a *very* good reason to abandon it: It was gone, and there wasn't any indication it would ever return. There's been a loss in confidence about the reliability of the EVTECH list as it is. It goes down for days at a time; this last outage was a rather long one. In the past, a simple note to sheer cleared it up, but this time he dropped off the face of the planet. This isn't an indictment of sheer: Shit Happens; we can all understand that. Problem is there isn't a "Plan B." I think the concern over the stability of the list is valid; perhaps if there were redundant servers and (especially) administrators these concerns might be satisfied.
