Those of us who have been there (digital) and returned just might find that 
offensive.

Dear all,

After much trying out with different hosting companies, etc., I've  
found one which appears able to perform. I hope that this should  
ensure better list availability and more continuos and timely  
service. I apologize for the delay in getting to this point.

        THEREFORE: Expect some disturbance of service Monday/Tuesday while  
the transition is underway.

I will, of course, do my utmost to minimize any interruptions or  
disturbances, but I apologize in advance for any inconveniences.

Question to y'all:

        o       As the list has moved from being "OM-cameras" to becoming
"OM+E  
cameras", I wonder if the
                [OM] should be:

                                o       kept in place, for history's sake
                                o       changed to [Olympus]
                                o       changed to [OM+E]
                                o       changed to something else
                
                Consider this a consensus call, not a vote ;)

New Features:

        o       The list will be hosted under one of my domain names, which 
should  
allow the
                addresses to/from it to remain stable even when/if it moves 
again.
        
        o       The host will provide also web-archives for the list.

        o       There should be an actually functioning web-interface for 
setting  
subscriber
                options

        o       There's an automated bounce processing enabled (should make my  
life easier).
                We will see how it works, please do signal any "unjust 
bounces", if
 
you get some.

Now, we have about a zillion subscribers on "Vacation". Some really  
are (good for them!), some are our respective "double-subscriptions" 

allowing us to post also from work without getting 2 copies of our  
mails -- and some are "serial bouncers" that have been sent on  
vacation and never gotten off, likely because their addresses have  
expired and they're no longer interested. I'd like to take this  
occasion to "clean up" in that list. So, therefore:

        o       Those email addresses that are *not* on vacation will be
                transfered directly

        o       Those email addresses that are on vacation will receive an 
INVITATION
                with information as to how to join and set vacation flags.

I've got a couple of additional "new features" up my sleeve, but
for  
now these will have to wait. Stay tuned.
