}The choice is up to you.

Two things:
  a) awfully hard for me (at least) to make any determination.  As a
  member of the (old) list, I mostly only really care that it comes
  back to life, and what host it is on seems to be a fairly low-level
  procedural question.  I understand the situation between you and
  Andrew, but perhaps you and he should just sort it out (via a phone
  call or something?) and tell us the answer.

  b) Any chance of your new list picking up the members of Andrew's version?
  For my part, I was the BBN contact for the old list and managed the local
  repeater for it (unix-security-bbn) and I'd just as soon have that come
  back to life (it is still sitting there ready-to-go in our alias database)
  rather than start a new round of setup.

In any event, I *surely* don't want *two* security mailing lists, so I
was going to hold off re-registering BBN (assuming I have to do so)
until this all settles down.
