Thats what I would hope for. Like my backups of the wiki data, I offer my VPS as a place to also backup the list data. Brett I am guessing will probably make the same offer? Others would also be great.
There may be data protection issues for anyone storing the list?
I'd suggest at least that once it has been decided that someone (or more than one person) will hold backups of the list membership, then a message should be sent to the list explaining what will be done and by whom so that anyone who wishes to can remove themselves from the list first. The policy should then be documented to new subscribers, either in the welcome email or on the list website (preferably the latter, or even better both).
I, for one, and more than happy to trust any of the people who have suggested that they will hold this data, but then I'm not a lurker so my details are in the public domain anyway.
