 Hello Listees,

 As most of you are aware, we have been experiencing problems with our new
server.  In particular these problems appear
to be "eating" some of the list posts.  Although the switch to the Mailman
sign-in and sign-out procedure has resulted
in many new options, our new server still needs some time to be
reconfigured.

 Because of this, our discussion list will be closed down within the next
few days.  This close down will continue for
somewhere between 30 to 60 days as hopefully these problems are resolved.
The option of returning to majordomo is not
an option as majordomo was causing just too many other server problems.

 It is my understanding that the list run by Hunter Hampton will be moved
over to the egroups during this same time frame
so that may be an option for some of our members.  I do not know the date of
this move but expect it to happen rather
soon.  That could also be an option for us but frankly I prefer to stick
with the formats that we have and wait until we
have secured a commercial free server and service.

 I apologize for the inconvenience of this and look forward to when our
group is back up and running.  We will post
 notice of this on the Vintage Airstream Club web site once it is back up
and running.  I expect this to be in early October.
