mailing list unavailability 15 June after 6:00pm

[Robert Meyer]

You know, every once in a while, someone pokes something out on a list that
gets me to sit back and say "WOW, I never thought of that".  This one falls in
that category.  I've done the 'change DNS and wait' routine myself.

They say that the day you stop learning is the day you die.  I guess I'm still
alive :-)  Thanks, Chris!

Cheers!
