Re: [PLUG] Replacement mailing list idea

[Michael Toren <mct@toren.net>]

Actually, let's do this.  My VM where plug things (and lots of other 
things) is currently running is on a Linode VM that was gifted to me to 
replace a colo box of mine that died when the hardware failed, so that 
plug mail could continue quickly.  I'm going migrate my things to a 
different VM, and turn this one over to Paul and Walt to manage.

Solved :-)  No changes needed.
