New address for Chengs list ...

Hello to my family, * My hosting company pulled the plug on their mailing list service*** and I have * *scrambled to find a replacement for (the original) chengs(a)lists.nimbleconcept.com.* * * * The new address for the list is: " *chengs(a)lists.contextdriven.com * "* * * * *Contextdriven.com* is a domain that I own.* * * * For now, the subscribed members of the list consists of the older * *generation--namely:* * * *"Elizabeth Krist" *<elizabeth.cheng.krist(a)gmail.com> *"Helen Cheng" *<hyhc(a)comcast.net> *"Jim Cheng" *<jim.yc.cheng(a)gmail.com> *"Nancy Cheng" *<nywc(a)uoregon.edu> *"Gary Krist" *<gary(a)garykrist.com> *"Stephen Lamb" *<i-cheng(a)exactproof.com> *"Al Massey" *<alexmassey(a)comcast.net> * * * *If the list proves to function decently (remains to be seen), I will send ** **an invitation to the six Cheng offspring (rhymes!), plus Xinzhe, who were ** **previously subscribed.** * * * Since the next gen hardly posts on this Chengs list, I feel it is important * *for each person to actively choose to get messages.* * * *-Steve* * * **** the software we used, "*Mailman*", has a completely new version (3), with additional * *technical requirements. **Dreamhost.com** decided that it wasn't worth it for them * *to meet those requirements.*

The delay I am experiencing could be specific to my Fastmail.com service. Can each of you (Betty, Helen, Jim & Nancy) please send a test to this list and observe how quickly you receive _your own_ email ? If NONE of you experiences a delay over (e.g.) 2 minutes, then this might work. Otherwise .... -Steve
