These two examples would prabably be acceptable especially that any
profit on the CDs would have gone to the booth.

We were thinking mainly about the ease of changed the address if necessary.
We aren't discussing moving the list server, but we need consider that
such a discussion may rise in the future, and make provisions for such a
change to be made painlessly. Remember that one such change was already done.
Your solution of forwarding a single address achieves the same goals we
were thinking of, it just hasn't crossed our mind. And the idea of
aliasing member addresses is nice.

The vote is about becoming an amuta... :) Remember to vote, guys!
Send mail to roji@cs.huji.ac.il with either "yes to amuta" or "no to amuta".
There are several things to consider before going on, and one important
thing which I feel we should await is Evgeny's opinion about moving his
web site.
