hello douglas, hello lad folk.
since our discussion about lad maintenance and douglas' offer to
host it, i have been trying to contact somebody at umontreal.ca. so
far, i have not received any reaction at all.
here is the latest attempt to solve the matter, sent just a few
minutes ago. i will keep you posted when something happens. (as far
as i know, m. gaudette is the sysadmin. cc:s went to tony cormier,
who was the postmaster some weeks ago, and the postmaster aliases of
both ginette and umontreal.ca).
regards,
jörn
