What Doug said, and thanks to Todd, Kevin, and Tom for
maintaining such a useful resource.
For those with objections to the name of the new host, did
you read the email last week from
our dedicated list
administrators, in which we were told that the list was moving, where it
was
moving to, and why it was
moving, including the fact that, "That domain name was in
place
long before it had the recent political
meaning in the United States!"? If there were any
objections at all to the new name, that was
the time to raise them, not now, after all the work
is done.
Besides, this is an international list. It would be absurd to ask
the moderators to monitor
political movements in all countries where there are readers and
contributors so as to be able
to
change either hosts or possibly even the list name itself (horrors!) in the
event that some
possibly-objectionable group decides to identify itself with some word
that appears frequently
in
list email.
Can we accept the notion that the new host had its
name before the politicians grabbed it,
and go back to discussing
storage?
And speaking of storage, here's a quick valentine
for NetApp. I just had to attach some
new
storage from another
vendor to a server, and just being
able to identify the disks that had been
allocated to this
project turned into a ridiculous
odyssey. I kept thinking how much easier it
would have been to do
the same job if I had been able to work with a
NetApp.

Are you kidding? I
think we all should be happy the fellows at teaparty.net are willing to host
this. Who are the external folks that are receiving the mail – generally someone
who is aware of the list and knows what it is for.
It’d be a ridiculous
reason to change the admins plans for migration etc.
I digress. The
political teaparty will come and go, and this list will
continue.

I appreciate that the fellow at teaparty.net for hosting
this.
That being said it sends a political message that
isn't intended for the NetApp community. I know its not related, but by
looking at the url, external folks wouldn't know
that.
Would it be possible to host this on google groups
instead of moving from one boutique mailing list hosting service to another?
Just a thought.
