Dear sanet-mg subscribers:

THIS IS IMPORTANT.  PLEASE READ, PRINT, SAVE.

SANET will be moving this Friday, July 21, 2000.  

The list will be down all day Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday morning
(7/24/00).  We hope to bring it back up by Monday afternoon.  You will
receive a message when the list is up and running again.

We are changing software, from majordomo to listserv.  This will change how
and where you send administrative commands (such as how to get on and off
the list).

We are also changing addresses.

Starting Monday, July 24, send messages to:

[email-masked]

PLEASE CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS BOOKS!  Note that you will NOT be able to *reply*
to an old message once we have migrated to the new software.  

Starting Monday, July 24, please use the following instructions for
subscribing and unsubscribing from sanet.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO ANYTHING NOW.  You will automatically be added to the
new list.

A few more things:

Our web site, http://www.sare.org will also be down from Friday, July 21

The sanet-mg archives will be available on our web site, but there may be a
slight delay in search capabilities.

There are sure to be a few other bugs in the system.  Please e-mail me with
