LUGNET is in the midst of its change-over to new servers. I apologize for any
dupicate posts you may receive via e-mail. I'm not sure what the cause of that
is yet. There's potential for a short outage.

Since you announced it, Suz, I can just as well announce that I am technically
in charge of the switchover as I am the hoster and maintainer of the new
machine(s).

The duplicates of the last days were a side-effect of a first data load on the
new main server. We have taken steps to hopefully avoid other such incidents.
Just as a side note, René and I were pretty swamped with mail bounces of
no-longer existent mail subscriber addresses, so we noticed the duplicates even
before you did ;-)

I am confident that we will be able to switch to the new hardware shortly.
Downtimes/outages will be restricted to an absolute minimum, and since only IP
addresses will change, most of you hopefully will not notice the actual
switchover. We will announce the final switchover date anyway.

We expect increased performance and stability, but can only really evaluate this
with your feedback - so please let us know.

Regards,

Jerry
