Hey, I hate to spam everyone with this, but I have no access to my records to see who I should contact. I'm on the rabbits-origins list as gwen@xxxxxxxxxxx. That email address (and entire server, hence the lack of information) has been down for over a week, and probably will still be down another week. It sucks having a server go down at the same time you're trying to finish up moving. :( Anyway, can whomever runs that list please shift my address from nvnsvch to this one (gwenix@xxxxxxxxx)? Thank you! And yes, I will be in attendance. I early-bird registered and reserved my hotel room already!
