Subject: [sumo] ATTENTION! Important list administration announcement

ATTENTION!  ATTENTION!  ATTENTION!

Synopsis:
The list needs to be migrated to a different server.  There will be a short
outage as the DNS change propagates.  The move will be targeted for well
before Natsu.  Users will not have to do anything at all for this migration.

Details:
The current WebTrek server is being co-located as a friends site.  He has
been letting me skate there for years for free.  But now he is moving his
circuit around and can not carry me anymore.  After looking into all options
I found the alternatives -

1) Move to a hosting company (cost about $20 a month)
2) Co-locate the server at another site (cost between $150 and $350 a month)
3) Get a circuit into the house (cost approximately $800 a month)

The option with the greatest flexibility and stability is the last one but
obviously beyond means.  So a hosting company it is.

They use the same software that we're already using so migration will be
very simple.  The only thing that will have an impact is that the list will
be unavailable during the time the name service propagation.
 This will be anywhere between a few minutes to a few hours, (though, as
Kofuji can attest, there's no predicting what will happen on the Internet).
There will also be ample warning announcements preceding the migration.

If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.  And apologies for
the pending inconvenience.
