Maybe so.  A long time ago we used donated hardware hosted for free in a commercial space.  People 
at the time thought that dealing with hardware sucked so they switched to a VPS.  IME getting money 
to pay for the VPS sucks more than dealing with hardware, but I probably wasn't around for most of 
the hardware woes.  But it doesn't suck that much.

We could probably find something other than our own mail server to manage our list.  Google must 
have something and turning into a meet-up group or whatever might also provide similar capabilities.

But I like having control over our archive.  I like using email rather than web forums.  And I like 
administering servers.  So I'm not investing time in redesigning our infrastructure.

I guess before I spend any time trying to move to a cheaper solution I'd have to ask Tummy if they'd 
give us a VPS, because they probably would.

And getting into the could would be interesting, but I don't know that we could get that cheaply enough.
