> I appreciate Al Waller's contribution to amateur radio.

> _from_ the list MUCH faster than before.

> The other reason I wanted to do this was to have more control over

> There will be a new email address to send list mail to.  I will also

> address book, etc.  Be sure you do this, since posting to the old
