I would suggest holding a small election. We could use this list to do it.
Any one interested in becoming President could send an email to the list
with a subject line of "Candidate". Next Tuesday we hold the election.
Voters would simply send an email to the list with "Vote:Candidate's Name
Here". This way, any of us could certainly count the votes. The results
would not be forged since we would all see them.
If there is enough response on the new list, have the President start a
non-profit organization that would own the new domain name, make some bylaws
and away you go.
At least with the election, the current users would have a voice and we
would quickly find out how many people want the list to be kept alive.

I suggest just do the move to qbalt.com
When people are given the option to choose between black and white they
start asking for different shades of gray. Don't give them the option of
colour, give them black, and they'll accept it.
At the end of the day, this list is for their own benefit. The ones who seek
advice, like me, will have to come here in order to solve their problems.
They ones who have the know-how, will come here to provide their knowledge
and try to "sell" their products/services.
Don't get me wrong, I am happy with both of these people, the
novices (I am
one of them) and the experts (they help me) who try to make a living. I try
to do things myself. If I cannot, I buy them from someone else. I have
bought stuff from nuonce.net
So, let's all thank Craig, for keeping/running this list for all
these
years, and allow Jeff migrate, Bruce administer it, and Ryan host it on his
servers. They haven't asked any money for it, and I am sure that it will
occupy a fair amount of their time.
