This is nonsense. There is no reason to "hurry". I have written about this
repeatedly but for some reason, Alex, you are still in a panic about it, and
now you are trying to spread your panic to other people.
You have apparently been under the mistaken impression the entire time
you've been on the Navigation List that the list archives ARE the list. They are
not. They are simply a private archive created by one individual in order to
draw traffic to his online book sale referrals to amazon.com. Those archives
on i-DEADLINK-com CAN BE shut down at any time if that individual decides to do so.
That doesn't mean it's going to happen tomorrow or next month or next year.
This has NOTHING to do with switching list servers, and none of us have ANY
control over it.
Meanwhile, the archives on i-DEADLINK-com to which you are so attached are full of
holes, and there is really nothing that any list member or list manager can
do about that. Wouldn't you like to improve things? Do you have any ideas for
improvements in list archives?? Don't you think it would be nice to have
complete archives under our control? Or is "full of holes" all you really expect?

The real irony here is that you were the most prolific poster on NavList for
about ten days, until you "discovered" that you were posting there. It's
just a server, Alex. That's all that has changed. Relax, and enjoy yourself!
