LEV to KFOR clarification

[Clay Chaplin]

Hello Kfor . . .

I hate to add another message to the bandwidth but I thought I should 
clarify if possible.

The LEV list was turned off a month or two ago because of legal threats 
against CalArts and its involvement in hosting the list. I won't go 
into how lame I think that was but it really was!

  At that time, I sent a message to the list informing everyone that the 
list would eventually be moving. Well that was two months ago and I 
think a number of people tuned out. In that time I worked on getting 
the server moved which took a little while to set up. Today, the Kfor 
list (which IS the LEV list on a new server with a different name) was 
turned on. No problem only that I had intended to email the LEV list 
first and explain the changes. So I would imagine a number of LEV list 
subscribers suddenly got messages (tons of them at first) from the Kkor 
list not knowing what was happening. It was a simple timing error in 
that the list (which is hosted far away from California) was turned on 
a few hours before I could email the LEV list to warn everyone about 
the move.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused subscribed 
members of the LEV list. My hopes were that LEV subscribers would be 
able to stay on the Kfor list without having to subscribe again. 
Instead a number of people were surprised and obviously some were angry 
which is just how things like this go sometimes.

I hope you will enjoy the new home for the Kfor (LEV) list and I'm 
sorry for not making the transition process easier. Thanks to everyone 
at the new servers for hosting the list.

all the best,

-Clay
