I have just picked up John's posting re the new listserv. Does this mean that the archive files of postings to the list over the last few years are going to be lost or will they be transfered to the new system? Over the last couple of months several people have pointed out that these files contain much valuable, if unstructured, experience of PD. If they cannot be made available over the 'net would it be possible to distribute them on CD ROM. I have found the search tools useful several times and hope that they can be restored in the near future. Thanks to Barbara and John for their efforts to date. Nigel Cockle.
