If Dennis were to want to discontinue the list and we want to keep the 
list in this email format someone would probably need to take over the 
internet domain "maltedmedia.com" and host a mail server at that domain.

I do NOT mean to be a downer here.  I want to start a conversation about 
what we can or should do if/when the server currently hosting the coco 
email list is no more.

Based on the replies to the (years old) email thread, some of us, 
including myself, get a great deal of value from this email list.  
Again, not to be blunt, but Dennis simply cannot be expected to maintain 
this list forever or even for the next X years.

So what can we do to maintain an email channel of communication?  If a 
'permanent' solution for email exists, can/should we go ahead and move 
to that now?

Again, just trying to get people smarter than me to start thinking about 
this,
JohnG
