Sure enough, he tried to provide me with the March WSFA Journal, but
was unable to.  I asked him to go ahead and email it to me when he
gets home, if we're still unable to upload to the website.  I will
then make it available on our mirror site (http://keithlynch.net/wsfa/).
I will be out until after midnight, but after I get home I'll stay up
until it's done.

(Please note that although my mailbox will accept HTML email now,
that except under special circumstances like this, I still strongly
prefer plain text.)

I've phoned them several times over the past few hours, letting the
phone ring at least twenty times each.  No answer.

At tomorrow's meeting I will propose that we immediately move our
website to Panix.com.  The cost is $350 per year rather than the $300
we're paying now, but Panix has been around since the 1980s, has never
been bought out, and is known to be competent and reliable.  It will
also give us wsfa.org email addresses for each member, and for this
list, and for new people to contact us on.

See http://www.panix.com/corp/cweb.html#cweb for a description of the
service package I am proposing we get.
