      I’m making copies of the entire pearson site today and will be moving it
      off tonight and tomorrow. The mailing list will move to a software
      package called Mailman. The forum will stay on BBForum.

      All those who read this via the mailing list will receive new
      subscription notices and will be subscribed en-mass. Mailman also
      maintains it’s own archive which is available via the web and has a good
      web interface for self-management of subscribing, unsubscribing etc.

      I hope that I can make the forum move without interruption. ( It should
      – as the trial run of moving the database worked ).

      I expect that mail delivery and web interfaces might be a bit bumpy as
      the web learns about where the site has moved to ( as the dns propagates
      the ip change ). Generally this takes about a day but may take up to 2
      days.

      In a previous thread, folks wondered what this costs. We’re moving from
      $11 / mo (@wolfpaw.net ) to $7 / mo (@ greengeeks.com ). I know that I
      could have moved to a less expensive webhosting site much earlier – but
      I was lazy and no move is without its headaches. If you would like to
      contribute, it would certainly be appreciated. You can either donate by
      sending us a personal check or through paypal ( patn n-js.net ) .
