Re: [44net] New Facebook Group

Thank you for the vote of confidence, but although I've been managing the network since the late 80's, I've only been handling the mailing list since late 2012 when it was moved here from cows.net. It was a mailing list on cows.net, but when it was moved to UCSD, the cows.net archives didn't come with it. So UCSD's archives currently only go back to 2012. My personal archive of the mailing list includes a lot of postings from the cows.net days, going back to 2009. Some day, in my copious free time, I hope to integrate that archive into the main one. Before cows.net, the list was known as the 'gateways' mailing list (I've forgotten the hosting sitename) but those archives were maintained by a separate ham club elsewhere. They were lost forever when the hard drive they were stored on crashed and it turned out that there was no backup. The current mailing list archives are backed up nightly to a high-availability redundant fileserver, so it's unlikely THAT will happen again. - Brian On Tue, Sep 12, 2017 at 08:39:20PM +1000, Tony Langdon wrote:
