Just got a note back from one of the sys-admins. Seems when they switched listproc software, things were misconfigured. There are now files at ftp.prairienet.org/pub/lists/tc-l Thanks for catching this.

[Slightly off topic, but appropriate] As many of you know, the Thompson Contender List and the Thompson Contender Page (http://www.prairienet.org/guns/tc/) are hosted on the Prairienet system. Prairienet is a "Free-Net" computer system, meaning that they do not charge users for computer services. Much like public television in the United States, Prairienet is funded by private donations. Prairienet is currently conducting their annual pledge drive. The purpose of this note is to ask each of you to consider making a small donation to Prairienet. Without the support of individual users, Prairienet would not be able to provide the services that they do. All donations are tax deductible. If you are able to spare $5 to $10 as a donation, that would be wonderful. Anything higher would, of course, be greatly appreciated. (FWIW: I practice what I preach - I've already made a sizable donation this year. )

Please send your donations to:

Prairienet

c/o BankIllinois

P.O. Box 198

Champaign, IL 61824-0198

Checks should be made payable to "Prairienet." Be sure to include a short note with your name and address, and mention that you are a subscriber of the Thompson Contender List.

Finally, this is purely voluntary for everyone. There is no charge to access the Thompson Contender Pages or to subscribe to the mailing list. This will not change.

Thank you for your consideration.
