Index of Subjects --Apple-Mail-53-476861826 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Hi Steve, With one exception, all my recent posts have appeared very promptly. If they don't it could be that either; a) they have somehow gotten sidetracked by the CCN it terms of spam mail processing, or b) for any one of a number of reasons majordomo has bounced them to the list administrator to be approved. In general, I don't think that the CCN is that much better or worse than other ISP's when it comes to spam-related delays. I've noticed sporadic processing delays with mail that is going through other systems as well. As for archiving the naturens posts, I'm no longer involved with CCN administration, but in my day, an archived list was there for the asking. I've mentioned this on naturens at least a couple of occasions but no one has taken up the call. ;-> If people feel this is a good idea give Doug Lindsey, our list administrator, a shout and see if he can pursue this with the CCN. For my part, I enjoy utilizing and supporting a local ISP (the CCN) and I'm not much enamored of all the advertising that is injected into posts on Yahoo lists.
