Thanks for supporting this for so long. It has been an invaluable
resource throughout my life in computational chemistry. I, for one,
will
miss it.
Enjoy your retirement,
Herbert

Dear CCL Subscribers,
CCL Closure
With some melancholic feelings I need to announce that I will be
closing
the CCL Mailing list, i.e., the mail sent to chemistry-#-ccl.net
<mailto:chemistry-#-ccl.net> will no longer distribute
messages to CCL
Subscribers. It will happen within a week or two. This service is just
no longer used, that is, it is no longer needed. Yet, operating this
kind of service is a lot of work due to the overwhelming level of spam
attempts and also exploits to attack the server. On top of this, I am
getting senile, and keeping up with these developments becomes a
burden.
So, at some point (a week or two) the address chemistry-#-ccl.net
<mailto:chemistry-#-ccl.net> and corresponding Web pages
to submit
messages to the list, will no longer distribute email to subscribers.
I will try to keep the CCL Web site running for a bit longer, so if
you
need to grab something from there, you still have a month or two. Also,
since there are some unexpired position openings announcements (
https://server.ccl.net/jobs
<https://server.ccl.net/jobs> ), I need to run this site,
as it was my commitment. I plan to do some traveling later this summer and fall,
and I will probably close the CCL Web site at this time. Leaving the server
without monitoring is becoming a very risky proposition lately.
I would like to thank all CCL participants, for being with me. Some of
you were members of CCL Community for a long time. It makes me believe,
that at some point, it was a useful service, and it helped
Computational
Chemistry to gain more popularity.
Thank you for participating... It was a honor!
