Adam,

Sorry you got caught out by the list change over, but it looks like most people saw the announcements and have switched over to the new server OK.

The new server seems to be working great -- I see messages I post come back to me on the list in under 10s, rather than the many hours delay and random reordering which seemed to be commonplace with sourceforge.

Best, Ian

Very very poor.

You gave no warning, and no backwards compatibility. Not even forwarding the new list to the old list. You could have at least auto-subscribed everyone to the new list.

Notice was given on Wednesday 16 March:

Follow-up posts discussed whether auto-subscribing was appropriate and it was decided it wasn't.

Informed, constructive criticism is always welcome.
