Lloyd, welcome! We're glad to see you here again; I particularly missed your input during the falsetto/chest discussions. Since you and I rarely see exactly eye-to-eye on technical issues, your posts are always fascinating to me!
I believe the most important thing do to, whether Oulu/PeopleNet continue to host the Vocalist or it switches to a private or educational host (like Dr. Hanson's university) is to make sure we find everyone.
This temporary list accounts for only a fraction of the original Vocalist. It was pulled together from the addresses of those listers who had posted to the Vocalist within the last few months before the system crash. There were untold countless lurkers and less-frequent posters who have been in the dark, so to speak, since the system crash.
If the eventual word from Marko is that the Vocalist will not be remounted in its previous form, all efforts should be made to retreive some kind of master list of all subscribers (passed, probably, from Marko directly to the new system administrator, under all oaths of secrecy to respect lurkers' privacy), so that an email message can be sent to EVERYONE from the original Vocalist when there is news to tell. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a scream-fest on this list simply because we're missing so many people and our current group is so tiny.
I'd love it if a message directing people to this list could be put up on the vocalist.org main page, if possible, but I'm not sure what the status is with the vocalist.org domain at the moment.
I guess we'll wait for Karen's word on the subject.
Isabelle B.
