Sounds reasonable - I'd be happy to be an alternate admin if that was 
seen as useful.

I could arrange hosting on ozlabs.org - a machine run by an informal 
co-operative of folk [1] - mostly friends of mine - but perhaps most 
usefully it's got a couple of very experienced and capable sysadmins who 
keep things ticking over.

Ozlabs.org uses the same mailing list software as is already used for 
synth-diy and runs a number of very high traffic mailing lists already 
without ado.

I'd be happy to assist with the transition and ongoing admin of the list 
if you so wished Rick.

Cheers,
Hugh
