[Fwd: Re: Email?]

[Darin Perusich]

thanks for resending peter.

i can't control the amount of time it takes for email to travel from
the systems at cognigen to the destination address. the nflug mail and web
server site on a t1 on uunet's backbone.

majordomo does not provide an easy method for changing the email address 
that you've subscribed with. the method for doing this is to unsubscribe 
the current address and then subscribe with the new address. i have 
changed or removed addresses from the list in the past, but this was 
done under special circumstances and not something that i want to get 
into the habit of doing.

i agree strongly that the website needs revamping and that it should be 
updated more frequently. when the site was first put up jjneff and i 
redesigned it and where making an effort to keep it updated. like 
everyone i've have alot of stuff going on and updating the site isn't 
high on my list. i'd gladly hand that off to someone else. the only 
problem here is that we currently do not allow connections to this 
machines from outside our network. i'm sure that i can make arrangements 
to allow ssh/sftp connections to this system for whoever takes over 
maintaining the site. or we could setup an ssl site which allows for 
someone to update content, phpnuke or something like that.
