Let me start out by saying this is my third attempt at sending this to the list, filtering on the --body-- of an email should be verboten. My personal view is a sharp point boot needs to be inserted in the pm.org mail admins rectum for filtering on my sig because it has a -hack er space . org- address in it.
Now, my original response...

If you're volunteering to act as primary point of contact I'd be interested in
doing something. Not sure what :)
As a curious historical aside, I was doing some research for the mailing lists
I'm setting up for Confusion Research Center and ran across the following from
shortly after Wayne, Sten, and I setting up APM when it was hosted on my domain.
It's over 10 years old, we should have a anniversary celebration.

Welcome to the Cliology mailing list (cliology at ssz.com).
Cliology is the study of history and civilizations with the goal of
understanding them from an analytical and predictive perspective. The idea
is that societies and human history have patterns that are mediated and
resultant from human psychology, situational boundary conditions, and
physical laws of nature.
This field is very lightly studied because of the broad range of fields of
study it requires. It is only now becoming possible to collect the necessary
historical data, current data, and computational power to approach even the
most simple problems.
Should you have any problems or questions please contact lists at ssz.com.
Welcome!

Welcome to Conflict Simulation of Austin (consim at ssz.com)

related to conflict simulations. It is open to all. We ask that all comments
of a personal or flame-bait nature be avoided.
If you have any questions or problems please contact lists at ssz.com.
Enjoy yourself!

Welcome to the Cypherpunks Distributed Remailer (cypherpunks at ssz.com)
The Cypherpunks mailing list discusses cryptography, economics, civil
liberties and related topics. The discussion can range over a very large
area and many off-topic posts are submitted. The mailing list itself
consists of 7 hub repeaters, any of which a potential user can subscribe
to. The mailing list has an international user base and has been in
existance approximately 7 years.
If you have any problems please contact lists at ssz.com.
Welcome!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcom to the Science - Technology mailing list (sci-tech at ssz.com).
This mailing list is for the dissimenation and discussion of science and
technology. It consists of original dialog as well as on-topic forwards
from other sources. Discussion of UFO's, Zero-Point Energy, etc. will be
met with the standard conservative views of traditional science. We may
have an open mind, but it's not so open we're going to let it slosh out
on the floor. Participation in this mailing list is open to all but it is
important to recognize that many topics and devices are very dangerous to
deal with and we seldom discuss the specific safety precautions necessary
to insure no harm to participants. The range of topics is very wide and as
a result it is probably not appropriate for children without direct and
immediate parental supervision.
This is a hard science and technology focused list. The social, political,
cultural, and economic impact of technology should NOT be discussed here. If
you wish to delve into those topics please consider subscribing to the
Cliology mailing list (cliology at ssz.com).
Experimental Science Instrumentation (tesla at ssz.com), Amateur & Experimental
Rocketry (goddard at ssz.com), Advanced Computer Experimentation (ace at ssz.com),
and the Data Haven (dh-l at ssz.com) mailing lists have been replaced by this
mailing list. Discussion and support of actual experiments and projects is
strongly supported. Subscribers to these lists were NOT automaticaly
subscribed to this mailing list because of the change in topics.
We do NOT provide answers for homework assignments, though we will help in
providing discussion and references.
Personal comments and flame-bait submissions are strongly frowned upon.
If you have problems please contact lists at ssz.com.
Welcome!
