Hello List Friends Since many of you are on both lists I am using the CS list to pass on some information. I hope you don't mind, Mike. Apparently Yahoo determined the OT list is 'invalid." I have no idea why. I have written to them twice and have received no response. At least two of our members have been unsubscribed. One today and one earlier in the week I have written to Yahoo regarding that problem earlier this week and they have not responded. We did get two new members though so that does not make a lot of sense. I sent a test message to the list and it never came through.
I find it very difficult to deal with persons who refuse to discuss whatever problem there is. I have searched through all the group info. and apparently Yahoo has the right to do this, and they do not have to notify you if they do. I am new at this, and perhaps I was negligent in some way. If so, I apologize. I am searching for a new home for us. I have contacted Topica. This being Friday I do not expect to hear from them until next week. Apparently I can give them the information they need, and they will do the switching for us. I really wanted to make contact with Topica first before I switched. They are headquartered in SF which makes them practically local. I feel like since I am in the Bay Area 3 or 4 times a year I could go bang on their door if necessary..:-) Meanwhile there may be some other problems that need looking at while we are waiting for our new home. The list seems to have slowed to a snail's pace, even "Christmas Trees and Goats" did not make it there. There have been a number of posts that are just forwarded messages from someone else and most of them are very political. The list was set up as a "discussion" list where most all topics can be addressed. However, it is difficult to respond to a third party post. It would be better if each person posted his or her own input regarding the topic and give a link to the whole message. Those who have an opinion could respond to what the sender is saying.. I guess the school teacher is me is coming out. I am not really sure if the sender has even read the messages or is just forwarding them. Input from list members regarding this problem would be most welcome. I can be reached at [email protected] Tracy is busy with a sick little one these days so she basically said go ahead and do whatever. I will forward anything that seems important on to her. I hope to have some answers for you soon. Your patience is appreciated and I look forward to suggestions from list members. Sincerely, Joanne Thomason silver-off-topic-list...???Owner.
