I had to smile when I read that... how can you tell folks who you 
without it being an 'ad' :) ?    My name is Paul Vail, owner of After 
Hours Macintosh Consulting of Raleigh, NC.   We are an outsource 
provider of hardware/software/internet-hosting business support 
(on-site or tele-support) -- and joined this list early on to promote 
or encourage folks into using Macs for business needs.  (My gripe: just 
once, I'd like to see Apple run an ad:
'Macs: first with Word and Excel, still the best business choice."   
Managers have 'Think Different' beaten out of them early on -- you have 
to lead a horse to water in the most obvious of ways.)

I've contacted Eric regarding the server issues, but have not heard 
back from him -- an un-Eric occurrance.  If he doesn't get back to me 
in a short while, I'm happy to open the subscription up to anyone 
interested in continuing the list on one of our servers.  I certainly 
don't want to poach his lists, but if his staff aren't monitoring 
things here, I'd rather this resource not completely die.  Let's give 
him a few days to work out whatever Macjordomo is doing to him.  I'll 
try to call him in a few minutes, too.
