[LargeFormat] F32 web site knacked?

[Dave Hornford]

In the event Clive doesn't return, on a couple of days notice I can provide
a forum based on my currenmtly underused qillaq.com domain (I use it to test
things before they go live at a couple of other domains, and it will be used
for B&W when I have time).

I don't think we should assume that he does know.  Which is why I said we
shouldn't get too concerned... yet.  The list of possibilities is almost
endless from "he does not know" to "he's trekking in the Himalayas" to "the
neighbour's pit bull has him trapped in his bathroom".  So I think we need
to decide how long we want to wait (Graeme for one has attempted to contact
him) before turning our attention to finding a new venue.  I don't think
we'll lose too many people to other groups, at least not permanently, if we
wait a little. 
But I do think it's important that we have a list of interested members in
case it all goes pear-shaped and this mail list stops functioning (it has
before don't forget!).  So far I've seen 6 responses in the gmail account I
set up for this.
