Hello Peter,

Thanks for the reply and encouragement!

Yes, sorry I forgot about the link: http://www.mcalinden.me.uk/opennic.html
Please let me know of any inaccuracies when you get time to read it.

The search system is http://www.sphider.eu/ - a PHP/MySQL search
system that is a bit outdated. In the future I plan to move to
something a bit more sophisticated, but at the moment it seems to do
the job. The database kept crashing during indexing, but after adding
some swap space to the server, the problem seems to be fixed.

I read somewhere on the OpenNIC website about posting at the
top/bottom of previous emails. Which is best practice? This is the
first time I have used a mailing list.
