[Rq-rules] Rules List needs a new home!

[Lev Lafayette]

Welcome Tomas!

I'd just like to point out on this matter that the
existing archives are in a mailman format (which is
neat in its plain-text, advertising free approach).
Exporting them to a Google or Yahoo hosted format may
be... well, impossible for all intents.

I'm also prepared to give a promise here and now to
host the list for the next ten years (yes, I do like
RuneQuest that much). I'll probably continue it after
that of course, or someone else might want to take it
over... and import them into any mailman site.

And so on..


All the best,


Lev
