Re: [Ausloco] ADMIN - Ausloco, the future decided
>From Saturday 20/5/00 I will no longer be the administrator of Ausloco. I have
passed on these duties to a team from Victoria lead by Darren Wood with help
from Doug Knowles and Stephen Molloy. To contact the admin team from here on
please email: ausloco_admin@eudoramail.com
Ausloco has become far to big for one person to look after and many challenges
lie ahead for the new team. I will remain a contributor to this list and look
forward to reading and sharing messages on this list. I wish the new team good
luck and thank them for their offer to take over and keep this list alive. I
hope you will all support them and work with them.
Thanks
Bob Gioia
