Hi!

[snip a lot]

If you know when you sent the email, take a look for it in the list
archives.  I'm pretty sure it never actually made it to the list.  The
only posts that concern a 6110 at all during the last year go back to
two other people, and all were answered by someone.

The shortest of answers to your questions is, yes, hpoj is being maintained;
no, it's not with the same level of energy as it once was; yes, this has
been explained in several emails by Cory Meisch, the list maintainer and
lead HP person doing maintenance coordination; and yes, there is a future
for your HP AIO and linux.  It's just got a different face than what
you might have expected if you'd dropped off the list.

Might I recommend that you verify your subscription - something may well
have happened to it, which would also have held your message in queue and
also explain why you perceive no activity.  I get several emails per day,
questions and answers; and I personally have prompted Cory to explain
futures to those on the list - and he has.  That you've not seen any of
that implies that, if you thought you were subscribed, maybe you in fact
were not.

You might also do a quick archive search on my last name and Cory's last
name, and you'll likely also find more direct and precise answers
to your question.  If I recall right, would be mid-spring 04 and late
summer 04.

I'd give you more data here, but as you asked for it from an HP person
(and that's the proper pedigree to be asking for), and as it's already
present on the list, hopefully you'll get better insight from finding
that.
