I was talking with one of the migration support techs a couple
of days ago (couldn't get SMTP to work; turned out to be a setting
in Eudora that I had to configure a little differently because I'm
using an older version than their instructions cover), and he
mentioned that they were thinking of setting up a "best.general"
newsgroup on the Verio news server. Obviously, it wouldn't have
quite the intimacy of the current one (or of Malch's best.general),
because it would be visible to the entire Verio community. But still, 
it would be a nice way for us to keep in touch and (personal agenda 
coming here :-)) get help from other Besties about various aspects 
of the migration.

If you'd like to see this happen, send the migration folks a note 
at the standard address (migration-support@veriohosting.com). Since
they're already batting the idea around, it probably wouldn't take
many messages to convince them to do it.
