Actually, I pay for it.
I appreciate the correction. Of course I knew you were instrumental in getting the fractint lists set up with xmission, but all these years I was under the impression xmission was providing a free service that you had organized. So we owe that thanks to you also for paying for it as well as the thanks for getting it set up! I have an account at Dreamhost where I manage mailing lists for some other organizations, as well as host the fractint web sites. I could host the fractint and fractdev mailing lists there for no additional cost to me, but this late in Fractint's life cycle, I don't think that's a good idea. And while most aspects of moving the mailing lists would not be too hard, I don't like to think about dealing with the archives! Not to mention that the email address of the lists would change. So as long as the current hosting of fractint and fractdev mailing lists by xmission suits you, I think we should continue it. If you ever want to change your support, just let me know,. Tim
