[A6] README: Recent list problems

I got an email from Georg Müller, indicating that the list wasn't
working. To be honest, I hadn't noticed at all that it was broken.

There's some good news and some bad news in all of this; the bad news is
that (despite having some simple backups), the list configuration and
member list were destroyed and unrecoverable. The good news is that I
was (I think) able to reconstruct the list from the subscription logs.
Anyone who subscribed and didn't later unsubscribe or get unsubscribed
for having a bouncing addres should now be subscribed.

I went ahead and sent out the welcome messages with everyone's
subscription; however, I hadn't yet reset the list's hostname properly
in the Mailman configuration. Please still continue to send to
"a6 at code404.com".

Anyone who subscribed to the digest, but later changed to receiving the
non-digest version of the list has probably been switched back to the
digest version.

Also, passwords, your "real name", and other user-specific settings have
been reset to the defaults.

Please let me know if you see any problems, or if you've been subscribed
when you shouldn't be, and I'll look into it further. There may be some
minor configuration tweaks and such that still need to be done.

Regards,
William Yardley
