Changes afoot at last

[Richard J Senghas]

Dear Linganth List Members,

After more than a decade of service provided by the University of  
Rochester's Majordomo server, we will be migrating the Linganth list  
to servers supported by LinguistList.org.  LinguistList.org has been  
providing archival services for many years now, and they are  
graciously offering to provide full listserv services.  The new  
hosting location will allow us to avoid spam infiltration, and allow  
for more automated subscription services.

Our current plans are to open Linganth list to unmoderated  
subscription, given that we will be using a subscription process that  
should prevent spammers from creeping on.  Assuming we aren't  
assaulted by inappropriate postings from subscribers without  
linguistic or anthropological backgrounds, we'll keep it an open  
subscription process.  If necessary, we can always turn on the  
moderated subscription option.

NOTE:  **When notified, you will need to take just a moment to  
resubscribe.**  Once we switch over (likely in the next week or two,  
assuming the folks at LinguistList.org don't get overloaded by other  
issues), I will send a last message or two to the old Linganth list,  
providing a link to the new subscription location, and the new  
address for posting to the list.  This way we can ensure that all  
addresses on the new list will be live and valid.  If you experience  
any difficulties with that process, I will invite you to drop me a  
note, and I'll be happy to help you out.

For those on summer breaks, I hope you are finding the time  
productive (or restful, as the case may be!).

Best regards,

-RJS
