the Internet and all who use it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">PS: Maybe once the migration to groups.io is done, there is an opportunity to donate a copy of the mailing list archives to BitSavers or some other computer
history project just so that there’s a permanent backup “for posterity”. It would be a shame to lose the collective wisdom of this list over such a long period. I am constantly impressed by everything that people have contributed to the SIMH community, especially
the detailed discussions of all sort of technical nuances and stories of the people, life and times at DEC and other companies/organizations during those early foundational years of computing history.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In the past several years, increasing spam and fishing attempts especially through Chinese and Russian internet services have overwhelmed my ability to run a home E-mail list server. A few years ago I summarily banned large swaths of the
internet potentially making mailing list participation impossible to large parts of the world. At the same time, my home e-mail server does not send authenticated E-mails so they aren't acceptable to many E-mail addresses that are subscribed.<o:p></o:p></p>
