Thought I should relay this mail here ... since our poor general mailing
list has had something unfortunate happen to it. I have the phone number
of Caldera, and plan to call the DNS contact to see who at Caldera I'm
supposed to bug about the mailing list. It might be Ed, or it might not;
I really have no idea. :( I just hope that I get to talk with a real
person, vs. voice mail.
As a side note, my taking control of the DNS hinges on my never ending
search for a domain name, as I need a domian name to be able to host the
afterstep.org domain (i.e. nameservers already registered). And those
that know, the domain name search has been going on for quite some time;
so if anyone has any ideas, I'd like to hear them. :)
