George, there are many Albergers who value the list, both for current activity, and for historical data.Is there any way to move it to another server, or to otherwise save it?I, and I suspect others, would contribute funds on a one shot or continuing basis if it would facilitate life support for the list.

That probably won't affect your life very much. The list is pretty quiet in recent years as people have moved most of their communications off of email and onto various social media sites. If you'd like to preserve some of the messages from this list, you can download them from the message archive at http://lists.alberg30.org/pipermail/public-list-alberg30.org/ and this will also be going away.

I really appreciate everyone who has participated in this list. I started it around 1998 using the ONElist service
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ONElist) which then merged with eGroups and was then acquired by Yahoo! Yahoo started adding "web bugs" to track viewing of the messages, so I decided in June of 2000 I registered the domain alberg30.org and hosted it on a provider that offered 'mailman'
mailing lists. It's been there for the last quarter century, quietly facilitating conversations between Alberg30 sailors and aficionados.
