updated again. I apologize personally for this lengthy period of time in which
the synthesisters.com lists were unavailable.
The lists are now being archived with hypermail again, but you should see this
only as a stop-gap measure while we continue finishing up the new web site,
which will feature a much nicer interface to the list archives (including a
*fast* search!).
(The archives, again, are located at http://www.synthesisters.com/hypermail/max-msp )
If you’re wondering why it took so long to get the archives back up, well, just
chalk it up to a combination of some internal server moves at cycling, new
mailing list management software and a lot on my plate.
Also, a bit earlier, Jeremy mentioned something about the list archives possibly
being scanned by a mail harvester as a possible reason for some viruses you may
have received. While this is certainly possible, I think what’s more likely is
that someone who is on the list and maintains a folder for their own archives of
such contracted a virus, and the virus went through the folder and picked out
names from list postings to propagate itself under the guise of. This is a very
common problem on large lists with lots of mail, and would not disappear even
with the complete removal of the email addresses from the public list archives.
