[New-imc] Re: [IMC-Tech] SUN 23 JUN EVENING AFTER 16:00 GMT tech help needed IMC France

hi all, 

i haven't been following the imc-france situation closely, so i might be  
misunderstanding it. I'm worried about one thing:

does this mean that public will not be able to access any content from the
newsire? if yes, can you please give details, why? i suspect this was
already discussed on lenght on some lists, so you can just point to me to
saome existing emails if that's the case.

if i'm not mistaken, and you are closing down complete newsire for public
access, i think it's a terrible mistake. i've been following imc-france in
it's early days (using babelfish to translate since i don't speak
french) and a lot of good content and work will be lost. if the reasons
for doing this are possibility of legal action against imc-france, why to
remove access to *all* content?

i still hope i misunderstood something.

thanks,

toni
