The only reason I am handing it over so I can concentrate on other
mailing list to which I am running.
http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/deaf-uk-chat/
As you see nearly 60 people subscribed so far, don't be green with envy Al :-)
I also have  Deaf lug mailing list its very new and 8 people subscribed so far
Also with baby coming along soon so I will be quite busy.

I do hope it finds it feet again but I guess being the summer here and
you lucky people living near the seaside you don't want to staying in
reading these post... unless someone set up wifi on the beach :-)
