VC> VC> Right well no one has expressed an interest in taking over the Elist VC> service along with the Pi it is running on. Hi Vincent, Both Deon and Rob would be good resources to avail yourself of. I am also interested in helping out in whatever way you/the guys deem helpful. From my POV I think if there is more redundancy built into things (i.e. not just one place to submit to / more than one person is across the service and/or is able to offer it) the better.

Yep, good you are thinking ahead. VC> IF any one might be interested in taking this service over, hopefully VC> younger than myself please get in touch.

I do have a spare Pi but Deon and/or Rob may well have kit (real or virtual) that could be pressed into service also. VC> No, I am not intending to get very unwell or to die any time soon, but I VC> have to start allowing for such. It's good you are thinking ahead, and thank you for doing so.
