<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Hello to the list at large.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN

</SPAN>Recently, Andre contacted me and made a decision. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The DecTalk archive stays. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>However, the following provisions will be
made with immediate effect. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>1. I,
Nick G, am now the general manager of the Dectalk archive, hosted at <A
href="http://andrelouis.com/dectalk">http://andrelouis.com/dectalk</A> and take
full responsibility for moving uploads in a timely fashion, If…and only if…a
message is sent to <A
href="mailto:dectalk@andrelouis.com">dectalk@andrelouis.com</A> first. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>No message…no move. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>2. The dectalk list is now officially
moved to <A
href="mailto:dectalk@jaybird.no-ip.info">dectalk@jaybird.no-ip.info</A>. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’d like to ask Jayson Smith to come
forward to tell us the web address to sub-scribe to said list. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Those who are seeing this on said list…of
coarse…will not need to send to that list. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>3. The address to upload is now changed
to <A href="ftp://onj.andrelouis.com/">ftp://onj.andrelouis.com</A>, with the
new username being <A
href="mailto:decupload@andrelouis.com">decupload@andrelouis.com</A> and the
password being decupload. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If
something is uploaded, no one…except me and Andre…is able to download from it.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In short, it is invisible to you.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can’t see it, you can’t
download it. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>More ways to upload
will be coming.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="mso-tab-count: 1">
</SPAN>A few informal comments are as follows. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’ve got to say that this server is being
paid for with <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Andre’s own money.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Basically use it, do not abuse it.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You know, if Red Dwarf was still
going on the old schedule, there’d be a new episode on the archive this Friday.
<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Shame that.</P>
