This mail list is run by an ancient version of mailman. It has not been 
updated in a decade (no upstream releases). It was deemed a security risk. I 
have been working behind the scenes to try to keep it alive, but I now work 
in the AI group - not security. So, I have no way to keep this alive except 
by good luck...which I think run its course. They gave me several options 
which all were bad. I was hoping for a different outcome. For example, one 
option was google groups which would involve me manually adding any new 
subscriber. That's no good as I have no idea who wants to subscribe. Sorry 
for the inconvenience folks...

Yes, there are several others subscribed, too.

Maybe. I guess we'll need to chat by private email. But if we find a new home, 
I'll post it to my people page.
