Yeghads, it happened again. Last night at about 22:47 the disk partition that holds the cypherpunks mail list filled up and when someone tryed to sub/un-scribe using Majordomo the list got zeroed. No one broke into the system to do any evil, it's just confusion, rotten software and poor management by yours truley that casued the problem. Next problem was that toad.com had changed a lot in the last 9 months, and we had moved things about in such a way that I did not seem to have any backups of the file! Today our gracious host, John Gilmore called up to see what the problem was and if there was any way to fixit. Using two heads was better than one and we realized that we had a online backup only 2 days old. Minutes later it was installed and the list is back to where it was late on 1995/07/11. So, some of you will need to un-subscribe again, our apologies about that. I will dig out the lost messages and make a digest-ish like post of everything that was posted since about 22:30 last night. I will also look at moving away from MajorDomo as list software due to its being moribund, old, stupid and bothersome! Thanks also goes to L. McCarthy <lmccarth@cs.umass.edu> for sending pleasant email to the right folks (majordomo-owner@toad.com is best) to lets us know that there was a problem. If you have any questions please send them directly to me as the list is allready full of off topic posts (big hint folks...). ||ugh Daniel Majordomo Potty Trainer majordomo-owner@toad.com
