Hannu/All -
In all the years I have been on this list, it has helped my team's pursuit
of providing the best RP service to our organization as possible. I am
very happy to see it live on, basically in it's current state of evolution.
Thank you to Hannu, Seppo and hopefully the FIRPA.
Oh and Hannu - welcome back to a more active role in the RP community.
Regards
Paul

Hi!
I sent this message last week, but from a wrong address, so it may have
been filtered... But here it is again... :)

Hello
Thanks to Seppo for getting us back online again, and Ed for for his help
and participation. It's great to have friends like you.
The problem with current server location is real and time will not solve
it. Seppo is working elsewhere and I do not have access to the server
room, thus any hardware problems will take time to solve. If we want to
keep the rp-ml alive, the server should be repositioned. Fortunately
Finnish Rapid Prototyping Association (FIRPA) is already expressed
interest and they are willing to help. I'd be happy to continue as admin,
and it seems that my future position at work may allowe me to take more
active role once again, not only with rp-ml, but with the whole rp
community.
I will contact FIRPA, but still I'd love to open up the discussion for
other options as well.
