Man - that was a QUIET weekend. I got a couple of comments form list-members regarding withdrawal symptoms. . . . . Thanks to our tech support guy at eGroups, we finally figured out where the problem was. Kind of self- imposed, I'm afraid. Here's what happened - right after switching moderators, suddenly messages started going through unmoderated. The only workaround for this was to disable the list. (You don't want to see absolutely everything, trust me on this). I corresponded with the help desk at eGroups, and after a day or so of head scratching (and test messages) determined that the switched-to moderator had an out-of-the office message generator going. This was interpreted by the eGroups server as an OK to post. Anyway, it's fixed now, so hopefully the list is back to normal. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. You learn something new everyday, I guess. Dave
