[Public-List] The end is nigh! Must it be?

[Loretta O'Brien]

Thank you for putting this list together

I’m relatively new, only had my boat five years, but I do like reading what people do with their boats

I’d be willing to contribute in order to keep the list going. I have a few questions. I keep thinking I should ask and I never do.!!

>> 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.
