[Novalug] DCLUG out of business?

I think I reported in Sept last year not being able to rejoin the DCLUG email
list after dis-enrolling while moving.

My suggestion would be that if this server/list has been down since then, use
gmail and google groups (????) in place of a dedicated server.

MTC,

Jay
