Just wondering, but would we even need to host a domain?  Or pay any money at all?  Could we not go back to the yahoogroup?  (Hmmm, why did we leave it, again?  I forget -- assuming I ever knew.)

BTW, I would just like to take this moment to thank you, Bruce, for saving both the DADL and, well, me by starting this off-shoot list so many moons ago.  (In another century, even, no?)

I hope and pray that this list won't seem so "poisonous" once you're no longer administrating it; like Paul, I value your POV here.
