I know, right!? :-)  (It's been nine years since I moved, but close 
enough.)

I think there are two viable paths forward: (1) Migrate the list to 
someone else who already has a running mailman configuration, or (2) 
Migrate to a VM that multiple people have access to.  DigitalOcean 
offers VMs that are only $5/month, which would be more than powerful 
enough for this application.  I like the latter option because it 
provides more flexibility for the future, and isn't dependent on a 
single person.  PLUG could also host its own DNS and website there, too, 
if it wanted.

But it shouldn't be up to me. :-)  Either solution is fine from my point 
of view.  Discuss amongst yourselves and let me know what the group 
consensus is.  Walt, can you let me know when that happens?

Thanks!
