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... :(
