Bob Netherton (I think that's correct--it's been a while) was on the list
for a fair bit, and he was going to co-moderate boc-l on a computer at
his job, with (I think) Ben. He vanished. :-) We then discovered later
that he had moved on to "greener pastures", and he did not have
facilities to host the list. I don't think he ever resubscribed to boc-l.
I think that's when Mike Holmes ran the list for a while.
