Arthur, I am willing to make the Olive-Drab facilities available to you. Olive-Drab runs
on an virtual server account which can host majordomo or other mail list software. I can
provide you with your own domain name, separate from olive-drab.com if you want it that
way.

I consider mil-veh to be the number one resource for military vehicle owners so you can
have anything you want at no cost if it will help keep the list alive. All you have to do
is to continue to administer the list -- the internet connections, server, and software
will cost you nothing.

Let me know anything I can do,
Best regards,
Chuck
