Hello everyone,

This is Matthew M. Kaufman - I occasionally post on the list, and have always been a huge fan of many of you, especially Peter Yim.  I know he managed a lot of the technology infrastructure, and I know that he has retired.  

Why is the list moving to Google Groups?  

I'd think this is a horrible idea, and would like to propose some other methods, perhaps even a phpBB hosted bulletin board, or to at least maintain the current mailing list!!!!  Is there any danger in the old mailing list archives, and / or web content being lost?  If so, I'd like to start a preservation effort to mirror all of this and re-host it.  I can provide major infrastructure and self-hosted server and storage resources in NYC physically in the Financial District, if necessary!

Thanks guys,

Just hate to see another mailing list go into Google Groups.
