Thanks for the detailed info, much appreciated!

It's not that important for the mailing list page to work 100% on iOS (in
this case I was just testing for fun on an old iOS 6 device); just thought
I'd throw it out there in case there was a quick fix.

I'm going to start working on the webdev site; do you have all of the
changes up on GIT as of now?

Thanks!

Tim
