Robin,
You are awesome!

I've been working *very* hard for the last several weeks on
compiling an as-complete-as-possible collection of all the main
Lojban list mails, ever. It's not complete, but at 45 thousand
mails, it's pretty impressive. :)
http://groups.google.com/group/lojban/topics?gvc=2 is the google
group resulting from what I've done, and represents a staggering
amount of work. I expect praise.
The driving issue here is that for many years I was getting regular
requests to make a web forum, but I didn't want to split the
community, so I found software (Tiki) that could keep an email list
and a web forum synchronized.
The problem is, it keeps breaking, and I'm tired of fixing it. On
top of that, managing non-trivial email these days is itself a full
time job (because of disparate spam protection at different ISPs),
and I'm tired of doing it.
So, I'm outsourcing the mailing list to Google, which solves both
this problems very well, so I don't have to keep spending my time
working on obnoxious busy-work, when I could actually be doing stuff
to further Lojban.
Some time in the next few days, when I get a few hours to rub
together, the current list will be totally shut down, the last bits
of mail will be uploaded, and the current list of subscribers will
be transferred.
The current email address for the list will still work, it will just
forward to google groups instead.
