Funding of Fractint mailing lists

Actually, I pay for it.
I appreciate the correction. Of course I knew you were instrumental in getting the fractint lists set up with xmission, but all these years I was under the impression xmission was providing a free service that you had organized. So we owe that thanks to you also for paying for it as well as the thanks for getting it set up! I have an account at Dreamhost where I manage mailing lists for some other organizations, as well as host the fractint web sites. I could host the fractint and fractdev mailing lists there for no additional cost to me, but this late in Fractint's life cycle, I don't think that's a good idea. And while most aspects of moving the mailing lists would not be too hard, I don't like to think about dealing with the archives! Not to mention that the email address of the lists would change. So as long as the current hosting of fractint and fractdev mailing lists by xmission suits you, I think we should continue it. If you ever want to change your support, just let me know,. Tim
I appreciate your donation Richard alex dukay

I think it was free initially and then that changed and I just folded it into my existing xmission bill. It doesn't cost much, so no need to change it. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals-wiki.org> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://ComputerGraphicsMuseum.org> Legalize Adulthood!

Thanks, Richard! I really enjoyed your hi res, highly anti-aliased versions of Jim Muth's Fractal of The Day when you were doing those! I also used your Fractint-like "Iterated Dynamics" (I think it's called) program extensively when I calculated and put Jim Muth's fractals (and my variations) on my server when the late Paul N. Lee stopped hosting them. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane@earthlink.net ######################## -----Original Message----- From: Richard <legalize@xmission.com> Sent: Monday, May 8, 2023 10:32 PM To: FractInt Discussion <fractint@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: [Fractint] Re: Funding of Fractint mailing lists In article <CAFLr274BiQiS__vknNEncTAyd2gmTEzOq-8GvfxyzcTE1shrFA@mail.gmail.com>, Timothy Wegner <tim@tswegner.net> writes:
