Todd, I believe that our late LD founder, Kim Flint’s, significan other (Violet Hefner) was taking care of it for quite a while. But as activity, interest, and supportive monetary donations have fallen off over time (if they ever were a factor at all), I think she has just the bare minimum going now. It is very understandable too, since perhaps personally maintaining it properly on a regular basis would be a constant reminder of her loss. It is unfortunate that a considerate and capable 3rd party, known to her and trusted, can’t be found to hand-over and maintain what many see as Kim’s online legacy — the list, and the site and all of its resources. But the world-wide internet community of loopers itself (whether on the list or on FB) is Kim’s real legacy. As long as it keeps together, grows and moves forward, it till outlast even us. For those of us who remembered him and called him “friend” it may not seem like quite enough to leave it at that. But that is the nature of things.
