Let me know when you've got the new lists set up and I'll put in a forwarder
(and remove all the subscribers from our side).

the mail archives yourself.

Do you just want me to tar up the gnats bug database?

Oh well, I happen to be sleeping at 4am most days :-)  

Let me know when you want to turn off write access to the CVS tree...  Or
