Sure.
The subject "Oakland.pm website has moved"
was the main point.
In addition the post indicated, among other things:
* that Perl Mongers was going to move us to a different server.
* that the capabilities offered on the new site 
would be less than on the old.
* that the accessibility (for maintenance) would be more restricted.
* that the site had not been accessible for maintenance
since shortly after the last (December) meeting.

The post is, of course, available in the archive
should you (or anyone else) wish to read it.

Several, as best I can recall.
One, rightly or wrongly, was that I had some concern 
about the effect on indexing by search engines.

I considered at least three options back then,
one of them being redirection using META.
Is the solution I chose 
causing you (or anyone else) significant grief?
If so, let me know
and I'll think through this again.

At the time,
I thought the main thing was to get the site moved
so I could maintain it.

Skoal,
George
