Should this list continue?

[Roy Tennant]

The poll results are clear: subscribers want the list to continue, and they
by far prefer remaining on the LISTSERV platform rather than Google Groups.
So I have taken up Lisa Haitz's kindly offer and will be coordinating with
her to handoff the list from the University of Notre Dame. I will keep you
all posted on things as they happen. Thank you for your feedback!
