No he cant, remember "no servers" by order of Telecom!

My Goodness, please shut down the Intarwebnet immediately seeing as
Telecom is the only access providor that allows people on the Intarwebnet..
Dan, can you please stop hosting this mailing list on your server as it
contravenes Telecoms terms and conditions.

At one time, the mailing list server was run on my DSL line at home.
On a 486, with 16MB of RAM... That was also my gateway, my firewall,
my mail server, and my FTP server. It also took 56 hours to build
world...

As for running servers, I had a special arrangement with Telecom in
that my rates were substantially subsidized. Yes, Telecom helped us
out there! I could not have afforded my DSL costs otherwise and the
list would never had started. This continue for about two years.

Then, in April 2001, I got a job offer that was hard to refuse so I
headed overseas to Ottawa to work for Ponte => http://www.ponte.com/,
who have since closed down (I'm now working for Tomoye, working on
knowledge management systems, also know as communities of practice =>
http://www.tomoye.com/). At that time, Citylink =>
http://www.citylink.co.nz/ agreed to host my computer for us. They
have been doing this free of charge, and providing me with remote
support, for just about 4.5 years now. :)

If you have dealings with Citylink, please be sure to express your
appreciation of their significant contributions to this list. :)

... and not just to the list. Citylink seems to be one of the few
companies left with any scruples about how they do business, and what
they're doing it for.

I better stop now before someone accuses me of being off topic, or
demands that I move this to -chat.
