Hi Alistair,

Yes, I'm on both the "old" (support at mitgcm.org) and the "new"
(mitgcm-support at dev.mitgcm.org) support lists.  The new one is handled
by the mailman list software and is archived (continuously updated) at:

  http://dev.mitgcm.org/pipermail/mitgcm-support/

Its also search-able through an htdig interface at

  http://dev.mitgcm.org/mail/?group_id=6

and I'll add a cron entry to update the search database every night.

If everyone will (please) make the switch to the new support list, then
I can make the old list point to the new list and automatically send a
"this message will be moderated--please subsrcibe at..." message.

Ed
