[Snowball] where is it now?

[Jeramy Ross]

GM Bill,

I sent out the latest list that I had.  Should include everyone on the list.

I'm still having issues getting mail to the list.  I confirmed that I'm not
getting through by looking at the archives, and see none of my latest
messages.  Latest failures indicate a DNS failure.  Seeing that my domain
(and mail) is hosted by Google, I'm finding that hard to believe, but I
digress...

I can step into Adrian's shoes and be one of the admins if needed.

I'm also fine with one list.  Some may not like the wait, but it does
simplify things.  With Bry getting ready to fire off a new snowball as soon
as he's feeling better and Al and myself having two "reserve" snowballs
waiting in the wings that can be sent out in the case of catastrophic
snowball melt... we should be good to go to get things rolling again with
backup plans to ensure success.  Cross your fingers everyone!

Hope you get to feeling better soon, Bry!

73 to all,
Jeramy W5XTL
