I was talking on Yahoo with Jeff about this and his concern is a fair one.
My solution is a compromise. Stop offering meo email as a POP service and
keep it around only as a forwarding service. There are no domain
registration charges involved, no disk space requirements, and existing
members stay happy, proudly sporting the meo email address (like I have in
my sig.)
HTTP redirects, on the other hand, will do fine with six months of
transition time. IMO.

Not much work required, but I suggest we clean up the most recent, say...
50 articles?
Could we do a regexp replace in the db itself to make tags lower-case and
all that?
