[Mig] MIG's future

[The Gammons]

Dan:

Don't send me anything, I really don't need it and I committed to pay the
costs with no need to be paid back. Whoever will be doing it will need it
more. I appreciate the thoughts, thank you.

A different forum could be set up to handle MIG Mail, sure. Anyone know how
to set that up? Can we transfer the old email records?
