Another September, another Simplelists bill. I've paid for another year, $100, which is emphatically not a burden, but if anyone feels an impulse to kick in a few ameros to help fund this joint, you can send it to me via paypal at xxxxxx@pharmacy.arizona.edu.

No, I’m not going to pack up the list and move somewhere else that’s free because, honestly, paying $100 a year is vastly simpler; simplelists is reliable, managing spam is painless and every time the list moves, we’ve shed people. New voices are popping up here and I don’t want to endanger that. That and it’s a lot of work to pack up and move a mailinglist and all the associated history, archives, settings, telling people fixing peoples mail issues, etc etc etc.  My regular consulting rates for that job would keep us on simple lists for ten years or more and besides then it feels like *work* :-)

Any way, back to how out-of-towners mispronounce our city names and eagerly await further expansion of Timothy’s multi-ancients theory…

Maybe I’ll flesh out my 1000-year-old orbital hab setting; kind of based on the Taos Pueblo, which has been continuously occupied for 1000 years at least.
