Hi Jeff,
Personally, due to ease of signing up and configurable list formats, I
support moving this list to Googlegroups. Some people, especially using
products such as BrailleNote and PAC Mate (including myself) have
experienced some difficulty signing up to this list using our email client,
which sometimes breaks Freelists commands by inserting unwanted return
characters at wrong time. Also, I feel that a provider that provides a way
of displaying the name of the list at the beginning of each post would allow
newcomers to quickly grasp what the list is for.
Besides Google, have you considered Mailman software, which are used by some
lists out there?
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: state of the list as I know it at this time ...
Hello Everyone,
OK, sit back and take a deep breath.
As usual, Freelists support has been shall I say not very helpful.
Apparently, all three accounts that I have moderated messages going to are
not working (one gmail, one personal domain and one university account).
Also, Freelists support states that the messages can not be resent.
For this reason, messages sent earlier today will not be seen by the list
and for that I am very very sorry.
So, here is what I have done.
I have un-moderated the list for the time being. I will keep a very very
close eye on things for the next while and if I see anyone going off topic
and ranting or slamming others on the list you will be sent an email and
asked to stop. If you refuse then you will be removed from the list and not
allowed to post.
I would also like to ask members of the list what they would think of moving
the list away from Freelists to Googlegroups where I have had a lot better
luck in list control and actually things working. What do all of you think?
Again, my most sincerest apologies.
Jeff Bishop
