Tom,  I understand your concern, but the institution that hosted this 
website for the last 10 or so years did so for free and Gord did the 
heavy lifting.  Academic institutions are not perfect, but at least to 
my experience they have a longevity on The Internet that exceeds private 
and individual concerns.  Based on experience, and there are a couple of 
folks on this list that know about private concerns that go *poof* I' 
think the list would be better served with an institutional address.
