I'm guessing, mainly because I can't imagine what's wrong. > On Mon, 2002-04-29 at 20:44, Bill Moran wrote: > >>Stacey Roberts wrote: >> >>>Hello There, >>> This is a last resort for me. >>> >>>I've noticed that I no longer see my questions being posted to this >>>list. >>> >>>I know that I'm still subscribed, as I still receive e-mail containing >>>the postings of other list subscribers.
