REFLECTOR: Reflector Modernization

[Brian Michalk]

If the group decides to move the reflector, I strongly suggest that 
"tvbf.org" go with it, and be maintained by the new administrator.

I registered the domain with the intent of reducing churn on all the 
members, bookmarks, filters, etc. that people have established over the 
years.  I also insist that the forum remain free of advertisements and 
stay true to the charter established by the members.
