SignWriting List has moved to a new address...please take note of it...

Fri Apr 9 18:43:08 UTC 2010

I disagree :-) because the emails get into my mailbox in wrong time, just 
when I am busy with my work, and as to forums, I use to read them during 
leaisure (in fact, during meals, bad habit, I know...). I prefer to read 
forum postings for their nice and user-friendly interface than those quoting 
mishmash in emails :-)
