American Scientist and Sigma Xi appreciates the attention that has been
given to the September-Forum and fully intends to maintain the archive
indefinitely. The web and list services will be maintained even if the
hardware at some point requires replacement. The September-Forum Archive
for the year 1998 is visible at the following address:
http://amsci-forum.amsci.org/archives/september-forum.html
We have no plans, that I am personally aware of to move or disturb this
archive. Additionally, Forum participants are encouraged to continue using
this list service until the 1999 September-Forum list comes on line in late
August of 1999.
Again, Thank You for your participation in this Forum and The Programs of
Sigma Xi and American Scientist Magazine.
