I'm against going back to a database. Instead, use a text file which can be
put into CVS. The database was a problem because nobody apart from you had
access to it (and there were times when you were not very responsive) and
you were the only one who knew how it was organised. I don't even know on
what machine it was.
Also, with the right format of the text file (i.e. *not* the way it is
now!;-) you have all the advantages of easy processing that you have with a
DBMS.

No idea, but note that we removed the address from the web pages at some
point; people are now told to send mail to this list.
Cheers,
