Is there anything I can do to get the astronomy list serve working fully for me again? I miss about one in three of the posts (I’ve discovered that from checking on the archives) and even the first time I send a post, it doesn’t come to my e-mail, but if someone responds to it, and I reply back, then that post of mine comes to me. Any ideas, thanks!
Hi Ann, I know what you mean. But, FWIW, I'm on several lists (over 20 at last count) and missed posts are not at all uncommon. I've gotten around the problem to some extent by subscribing two of my addresses and routinely checking the archive. But I realize many have only one address and/or are not obsessive compulsive enough (<grin>) to remember to frequently check the archive. On the up side, if a particular thread catches on you are sure to receive at least some of the traffic which could remind you to go to the archive. Cheers, patrick
