If the latter, and it wasn't a "large"
list, I'd be happy to host it on
one of my servers... I don't have access to a lot of bandwidth, so it
wouldn't be insanely fast, but it would be stable.
My eternal question is: Can't it be shared? Can't I build a server and
let you use my bandwidth? (as soon as I have my new ADSL2 link turned on,
I'll have 16MB up / 2MB down)
As do I.
As do most of people, incluiding I.
I was never on Fidonet, but with the way the current
interwebs is going
(spam, popups, etc.) I've been contemplating what it would take to set up
a new Fidonet (or at least Fidonet-like) system - I would happily host a
node on something like that.
I was a node and it was nice. It happened well before the 'net in
Brazil, so we shared the interstate/intercountry calls between us sysops and
everything worked fine.
It would be interesting to see the ratio of resources
that Yahoo dedicated
to its lists compared to all of its other services (flickr, websearch,
etc.).
I could order a Sun Netra 5 running solaris, with tons of memory and
some HDs, and make it join the party. Of course, if the load can be shared.
