I run my lists (all discussion lists for particular professions) from
generous academic host sites. About a year ago I checked with Eric as to
what it would cost to have one of them hosted at L-Soft. Ten thousand
dollars per year is about what he told me back then. That was daunting,
but with this extra fee ....
I didn't move any of my lists to L-Soft hosting, but what I would like to
know is what, if any, impact this stuff will have on academic LISTSERV
host sites.
