[OPLINLIST] Potential future fallout from the OPLIN e-mail server failure

I don't remember if I mentioned this in the past, but if any libraries
happened to use an @oplin.org e-mail address when registering their domain
names (for the library's website or e-mail, for instance...
www.myawesomelibrary.org or me at myawesomelibrary.org), you might consider
changing it to your current e-mail address. Domain name login information
is something that can easily get lost in the shuffle since it may not be
needed for years at a time, depending on how you paid for it. If you've
lost your login password and try to use an online password recovery tool,
you may be disappointed when you suddenly realize in a year or two that you
never updated the e-mail addresses at your domain name registrar and you
have to scramble before your Internet presence goes...Poof!

Almost all of you probably have a domain name and will need to re-register
it again in some future year. Whoever did it last time may or may not still
be around...

Just a thought.
