List server questions and notes

[Victor Odhner]

1. I'm still wondering how, when plug.phoenix.az.us got broken,
 Brian managed to redirect that site's traffic to Mybutt.

2. If I go to http://lists.plug.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/
 there are links for the lists "plug-presents" and "flamewars".
 There are no links for plug-devel, plug-discuss, plug-announce
 or NPO.  The feature to list all the groups I'm in works nicely.
 Doesn't Mailman maintain the "listinfo" page automatically?
 Are those groups that don't appear on the listinfo page
 configured as non-publicized groups?

3. What is "plug-presents"?  It says it has something to do
 with the Plug Presents project.  Apparently it was the
 beginning of the NPO effort.  Last traffic almost a
 year ago.

4. Observation:  When I joined the flamewars list, that made
 four (visible) subscribers.  Last traffic almost two years ago.
 That would be a good list to go to, if I plan to make a
 really big fool of myself.

5. For the past several hours, until just now, if I went to
 http://lists.plug.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-devel
 and submitted my e-mail address with the "Edit Options" button,
 I got "disconnected by remote host" after a long wait.
 But now it's working OK.
