Not necessarily, since many people use "sense of
humor" to just talk about whether or not people
get jokes.


Tough week?


Yes, but that's a separate issue.

Right here, as always.  But "we" don't own the list.

Well, though it is most probably of absolutely no significance to the

I only saw the second copy on the archive:

http://mccmedia.com/pipermail/brin-l_mccmedia.com/Week-of-Mon-20090817/date.html

But I did receive your email that I am replying to. So it looks like
messages are being mailed out today.

I wonder if the list administrators are reading this thread...

List administrators:

It seems that many list emails are not being sent out to list members.
They are showing up on the archive, but there are many that are not
being emailed to me. I think Ronn may also be in a similar situation
(judging from his re-posts).




I take it you saw both copies of those?  I haven't seen either copy 
of any of them.





Although I did receive Chris's recent
post, something about avatars. Judging from the recent decrease in
volume, I wonder if this problem is widespread.




Personally, I've been busy with other things, including dealing with 
messages from one Yahoo! list after another I'm subscribed to also no 
longer coming through, apparently now including two lists I'm 
co-moderator of.  Among other annoyances . . .

Maybe it is fixed now, at least for new posts? I received Chris's
avatar post, and now I received your post.

But for old posts, there are still quite a few in the archive that I
did not receive by email.

Heh.  I thought the list had just taken a deep breath.  Instead it
appears something has gone awry.  I, too, am not receiving everything
