All I said was that the two lists I have are dependable and junk free.
I intended no inference to any situation with the SCOUG server.

I think it was the same offer as this. I doubt I ever considered
hosting the existing system. I would never claim that would be an
improvement.
I have divided the task into to parts. The WEB site is nice, and it
needs to be maintained. But there is a separate, more time sensitive
issue of being able to communicate with each other. Right now we have a
catch 22; if the server is down, who are you going to tell and how. And
how do you let everyone know it is down. I guess 404 is a clue. I am
only offering to solve the communication part. And we can forget about
acquiring a bigger and better mail server.

One of the lists I have is analogous to SCOUG. It is a small, stable
group. The only thing I have to do is occasionally approve a new
member. They have to make a statement as to why they want to join. You
can tell by their choice of words whether they are legitimate.

Nor do I think you should, any more than I should.

My thought exactly.
