Bob continued to coordinate requests for posting until 2006, when Joe Touch assumed that role on behalf of the IRTF RG. On Jan. 1, 2010, when the E2E RG concluded, the list was transferred to operate entirely by the Postel Center, at which time it contained 2,665 subscriber addresses.</p> <p>NOTE: the archive was 'cleaned' of spam on Feb. 23, 2004. The original archives back to Jan 21, 2001 are available as a single gzip'd archive (<a href="/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2023/06/end2end-interest.mbox_.orig_.gz">click here</a>).</p> <p>An interesting bit of trivia is that it was Jon Postel, our Center's namesake, who sent the first message to this list on Feb. 11, 1985:</p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica,
