If I may, things had been broken, unmonitored, and unacted upon, and fixed
themselves when the daemons restarted due to the forced reboot at via.net
due to the power outage that happened there this morning.

The problem is not another mailing list, but an apparently unadmined, half
broken system. Whatever admin work has been done, by whoever did it, has
been damaging to it. Things that just worked for many years are now
suddenly not working anymore, like web services, or mail.
This is very worrisome.

Also, if I may, please don't call Joe at via.net to say that svlug is down
when it's fully up, pingable, ssh'able, but its web server isn't answering.
Joe is doing everyone a huge favour by hosting svlug for free, but we should
not waste his time.
