The FRAC was originally created (March 1999) and conceived by Archer Sully, and it has an interesting charter:
Some words of warning. This is not just an LAS list [Archer is an LAS list member, so is LeRoy], but a general,Late in June of 2002, Archer sought out a replacement and LeRoy Guatney stepped up and volunteered. In August 2004,
it's a list for observers in the area. The idea is to promote cross-club observing sessions and communication.
This is a mailing list, not a club."tac" is a term borrowed from another mailing list that [Archer] was on (used with permission).

The list is still run from the system at seds.org, but Archer and LeRoy
have setup a Yahoo Group to act as a list archiver, as well
as other features for list members. The Yahoo Group acts only
as a list archive, so no posts are permitted there. The Calendar,
Files, Links, and Photos section are
visible to the public,
and don't even require a Yahoo membership to view. The message
archives are visible only to list members. If I know you, I
will permit read-only access to the list via the Yahoo Group, but to keep
the message archives private, you must register with Yahoo.
Please note that when Archer was archiving the messages on beachbat,
the messages, including complete e-mail address,
was visible and on-line. You may now
also read list archives at seds.org, if you are a list member.
