      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A48       MSGID: 3:770/100 e4ee79e9       REPLY: 2:250/1@fidonet 645138cd       TZUTC: 1200       On 02 May 2023 at 05:01p, Vincent Coen pondered and said...                VC> Hello All!        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.               VC> To remind every one I will be 76 as of June 23 and my health could be        VC> better.              I hope you're health is as good as it can be for many years to come good sir.               VC> Historically, for the previous two Elist maintainers etc, on their death        VC> the service died as well as their next of kin had no usage of the        VC> service or any other within fido land etc so could not be contacted any        VC> way.              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. You can use the Pi as a        VC> complete system or run        VC> it side by side of you existing bbs system if you run Linux as it uses        VC> mbse as the bbs system and the elist software is designed to use the bbs        VC> mailer and other services to run which make it fairly automated - any        VC> bugs allowed for.              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.              Best, Paul              Kerr Avon [Blake's 7] 'I'm not expendable, I'm not stupid and I'm not going'       avon[at]bbs.nz | bbs.nz | fsxnet.nz               --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A48 (Linux/64)        * Origin: Agency BBS | Dunedin, New Zealand | agency.bbs.nz (3:770/100)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 123/131 124/5016 129/305       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 840 220/70 221/0 226/17       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 200 206 307 317 400 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/470 664 700 240/1120 5832 266/512 267/800 280/464 5003       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/267 280 281       SEEN-BY: 633/384 410 412 418 509 712/848 770/1 100 330 340 772/220       SEEN-BY: 772/230       PATH: 770/100 1 280/464 633/280 229/426           |
