I haven't been able to follow the last week of discussion much as I'm 
working on the site.  I did weant to clarify a couple of things.

NAFEX does have its own website and owns the domain www.nafex.org.  It 
happens to be hosted on ibiblio...for the moment.  Separately, but 
related...NAFEX has a listserv (this email list) that also runs through 
ibiblio.  The listserv address is different (as are all listservs). 
Until NAFEX owns its own server (which isn't likely), we need to elist 
the aid of a server (hence ibiblio).  We will never be in a situation to 
have a NAFEX website-housed listserv.  I have noted the problems with 
the archives that folks have mentioned (inaccessable) and will see what 
I can do.  However, at the moment there are bigger fish to fry for the 
website and some things are about to change.  I'll make announcements 
here on the list as they happen.  Once the main issues are addressed, 
I'll look at the archive situation, but that will probably be a little 
way down the road.

Folks - I don't want to continue to hammer the list with web topics not 
really related to fruit, growing, etc., before we're able to get stuff 
in place.  When we do, I will be asking for help, input, and expertise 
in a number of areas in order to make the site a bigger, better place.

Look for the first announcement in a day or two hopefully.
