If anyone wants to do that, they're welcome to.  I will not share the
subscriber list, however, because (1) I was never given permission to
do so, and (2) there are a lot of unattended or invalid mailboxes on
it.

My own interest remains at this point pretty firmly in the history and
not the present; I can't remember the last time I intentionally put on
live radio, and that's a big part of why I am trying to wind down the
most high-effort, low-reward part of bostonradio.org.  (Only a month
ago I had to shut down the "where am I?" service when the FCC
discontinued publishing its database in the format the site depended
on -- before that point, the daily database updates were the
highest-effort part of the site, but keeping mail delivery working in
today's Internet is a very close second.)
