If there is user interest, I can run a replacement list on my shell
account. Just say the word and I can have things ready in 1 day. Anyone
who is interested should send mail to me directly.
I cannot leave background processes running while logged off, so mail
will only be processed while I am online. I am normally online 1-3 times
a day so this will not be a major problem. I will be able to improve
automation over time, but it will always be limited by my presence online.
I may be able to offer a digest (not mh-compatible). This may, in fact,
be easier for me to set up. I may be able to offer previous-month
archives, but no more than that. I will be able to keep the subscriber
list nonviewable to the public.
I will continue this list's no-binary policy. I am willing to allow
posting of stories, subject to a daily size limit (tentatively 50K).
This list's on/off-topic scope will be continued.
Subscribe and unsubscribe requests will be implemented in a way totally
dissimilar to majordomo's method, but no more difficult for the user to
employ. They can only be processed while I am online, so there will be
delays in effecting requests. I am normally online 1-3 times a day so
this will not be a major problem.
