I don't know. Scott (or Scott Casiotone as he was known here) just
disappeared but prior to that I was appointed moderator (fortunately)
and I've done my best to keep it working. It has been very little fuzz
since, but I cannot change fundamental settings which is sad 'cause we
all agreed that filteriing out autobots and other spammers upon joining
would be great. This doesn't work 'cause by default all applications are
sent to the owner, not to the moderator(s) (tested). Hence occasional
spamming, mainly from that annoying "bikerguy" who joins from now and then.

Scott's last work on the group was;
May 2, 2007 10:27 pm (action 68 of 111)

And I was appointed moderator;
Jul 24, 2005 5:57 am (action 39 of 111)

I've googled on site name, versions of Scott's alias and only found old
entries dating back to the time before May 2, 2007. I did it again
tonight and have in fact mailed a MySpace user with some hope (if only
tiny).

Now you know... 514 members isn't the easiest task to move and convince
to stay etc + we'd loose the archive if not staying member of the
original list etc, aso, mm, usw... I could remove most of these by
erasing all not receiving mails, but who knows how often they check the
archives and we'd still be having the keeping of the message archive
issue... :(
