Okay... we'll start from your baseline. Thanks for all the work... we'll
try to take over from here.

Okay... I haven't really spoken much to Jack Morgan lately. I've received
some other offers so I'll see how those go. Some of those actually look
like a nice group project so....

heh. Again... we'll take care of whatever we can. The mailing list
and stuff can stay there if at all possible lest we find a better home.

nod... I'm thinking more of a wide area network relating to a luau.org
domain. Where the mailling list is located in one place, and say... an irc
server located in another.

Okay... so I plan big... But in this age of cheap net access, a nice
distributed system would be nice.

A primary DNS at one site, and the secondary DNS at another. Giving us a
relatively distributed system. MX record for luau.org goes to luau.hi.net
(btw, majordomo on luau.hi.net is lists.teamunlimited.com?) and so on and
so forth. Ideas on this idea? 

Well... since nothing has been done yet, we'll let this simmer on low heat
until boiling.

We won't have an answer until after we put together a team for web page
making. I'm also going to discuss our network future in there.

Sorry 'bout your work. Hope you're making more money at least.
