As you are all too aware, the list is down and has been for nearly 2 weeks. I was away all last week and though I had hoped it would be back by my return, I was to be disappointed. The list runs on a server at the University under the control of Phil Stringer. My guess is that he is away on holiday as he cannot be contacted either by e-mail or by his home telephone. I have my fingers crossed that he will get back this next week and all will be well. In the meantime, if you have other list members with whom you are in contact, perhaps you could pass this message on. Thanks for your forbearance. Hopefully, normal service will be resumed before too long.
