I hope someone will renew Pyr-net for another year because it may be 
that the list will spring back to life. I took a look at the site and 
it appears that the last update was in 1999.

I learned the hard way that one can't let web sites die and ever 
bring them back to life under the same name. Dead sites are bought up 
by brokers. When my young friend Linda Howard died, a colleague 
carelessly let her well-trafficked site pet monkey info die. I 
realized what had happened and contacted a colleague who said he had 
forgotten to renew it, then I contacted the host and was told it was 
sold. In fact a web site name broker had bought it, I found his name 
from godaddy where you can find who owns any domain name. I contacted 
him and he offered to sell the name back to me for $27,000. I changed 
the name by a couple of letters and re-registered it.

So, it's fine to let the site die if one is 100% one won't want to 
revive it. I assume the chat list would disappear, too.

I do remember times when the list was really lively.
