Sorry for the long delay in replying; I've only just noticed
this message.

I'm sorry to report that Chris died on 11 Feb 2007.  See the
official announcement on his website

  http://www.ex-parrot.com/~chris/wwwitter/20070305-chris_lightfoot_1978-2007.html

and his obituary in The Times:

To the best of my knowledge, no-one has yet taken over
maintaining tpop3d.
