Thanks, Godwin.  I've been reading this thread trying to figure out why
we were talking about switching away from what we have (regarding the
mailing list).  It has been working fine for me for over ten years, with
only one serious outage (that I recall).

Our web site, however...  I'm all for minimalism (á la
http://www.slackware.com) but ours is minimalism circa 1998.  Then
again, I have nothing substantial to contribute to making it better
other than to say it's currently bleh.

So back to Casey's original post that started this thread: why is the
site moving?
