The Confocal Microscopy Listserver Is
Moving
There's no need to worry; there's no
need for you to do anything. It is our hope that the move will
not cause any disruption to the group.
The Confocal Listserver was founded by P.C. Cheng, Don Parsons and Bob
Summers in 1987 using L-Soft listserv software that was installed at
the University of Buffalo by Jim Gerland. Indeed, for many years
this was the main site for listservers for the US since distributive
discussion groups were really new at this time.
I inherited the list from Bob Summers in 1998, and have been running
it remotely since then. The confocal list has grown in the past
20 years from the three pioneers in 1987 to some 2000 or so
subscribers today. For several reasons, we intend to move the
list over to the University of Minneapolis system where Jerry
Sedgewick has kindly agreed to take over.
I would like to thank the University of
Buffalo for hosting our discussion group for the past 20 years.
A special thank-you goes to Jim Serwinowski, the current UB Listserv
Administrator, for his expert help and advice.
The new Email address for the Confocal List will be
[hidden email] and the full archive can be found

If you are a current user, you will be able
to post and receive messages as usual. I stress again -
there's no need to change anything. The move will take place
tomorrow (Friday), and if at all possible would you please keep
traffic on the list to a minimum tomorrow since incoming new messages
could be lost during the transfer.
Thank-you for ten years of good list behavior. There have been a
few entertaining rants and the odd message sent to the list in error
but I have been impressed by the high quality of the
contributions.
Did I mention that there's no need to
worry??
All the best
Steve
