Quoting Brian May (brian@microcomaustralia.com.au):
If such a hostile take over occurred (regardless of if it is by some future LUV or some future LA), I would imagine somebody would register a new domain, setup new mailing lists, and LUV would continue.
Better than that: Given friendly parties' continuing to control the domain, there would be no need for replacement of anything essential. Even if (hypotehtically) the Web site and mailing lists were under the control of hostile parties, you folks _do_ perform offsite backups, right? Into the hands of friendly parties, right? If so, worst case, you deploy replacement servers, reimport data for the Web site and mailing lists, point new DNS to the new servers, and lose nothing. Certainly, if you have to walk away from mailing list archives and subscriber rosters, then you're doing backup wrong.
