We just need an archive file in cyber space where we could store large
files, tick data etc. The present list doesn't need to change the ftp site
suggested would be okay or what ever. Whalemail is fine buts its temporary
but there are plenty of ways to accomplish this without changing this list.
Problem is we have needed this a longtime and unless its handy to use it
never happens. Like now after this discussion ends we will not have a place
to store any files. We do need a place to file stuff thats accessible to
the list easily but it want happen and thats not going to change.
