Yes I assume a mail server's ticking away quietly at wherever Kevin
hosts it.  I just subscribe a list archive address to his list, which
receives the mails and does the archiving and indexing on my site, so
no, I don't have any control over the list itself.  From memory, his
archive was incomplete so I offered, and he said yes.

I don't really have a preference no. SF's lack of easy searchability's
always a problem, but if you want to keep it clean and to the
sf.net standard you could go with that.  Or I don't mind keep
mine up and running it in parallel if you like.  Up to all of you.
All I'd need is a clean break to know which list is the master list
- with two running right now and already (I've noticed, I think),
one mail being sent to the SF one but not here, it's getting messy.
And I can't archive both or I'll get duplicates.

I don't really have time right now to mess with the archiving format
on my site, but if people think it's useful as it is, and someone can
send a clear signal as to when to make a change, just let me know.
Else I'll leave the old one subscribed and the archive will rot :)
