[Dprglist] What name do you want for our new DPRG email server?

[Paul Bouchier]

DPRG members - a survey asking what name the members-in-good-standing want
to call the new google groups email server was sent last Saturday. So far,
12 of you have voted, and dprglist at googlegroups.com has taken the lead (5
votes), closely followed by dprghub at googlegroups.com (4 votes). The survey
closes tonight, so feel welcome to weigh in with your vote. If you can't
find the email invitation with the survey form button in it, send me email
directly or to president at dprg.org or PM me on the DPRG Discord server and
I'll resend it to you.

If we were on the new email server already I'd include a picture of the
survey results, an emoji, and maybe even do all that from the web
interface. But we are not.

Thanks
