I am using a newsreader right now to follow this forum.  It works just fine.

The only issues with the bit.listserv.coco is that it is not moderated, 
so it is having periodic troll infestations and a small amount of spam, 
and it could disappear with out notice as the mailing list it is a 
designated gateway/mirror of is no longer functioning.

We already lost one mailing list because it did not have an official 
sponsor.  Consider that the bit.listserv.coco is also in the same limbo 
that the former mailing list was.  The bit.listserv.coco designated 
owner is the administrator for the coco mailing list on princeton.edu, 
and that person does not currently exist.

So those that want to move back to the bit.listserv.coco could find it 
gone with out notice if no other action is taken to reassign the 
ownership to someone that wants to take active responsibility for it.
