I echo Patrick's sentiment. We used to use xmission at my place of employment and had massive problems a few years ago. I don't think any provider is trouble-free, all of the time. A person can become somewhat invested in a specific email address after a number of years; it isn't a simple matter to just dump one address in favor of another when a technical problem arises. Having multiple addresses for different purposes can also be difficult to manage. I already have 3 email addresses and find just those 3 a pain (one is for work). Each is with a different provider and all have their own problems at times. -----Original Message----- From: paw@wirelessbeehive.com To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Sent: Mon, 26 Feb 2007 2:27 AM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Re: Bad filters run amok (was: success!)

Egads, does that mean the gremlins are just picking on Chuck and me? <grin> I don't think anyone is blaming the UA list for this. It is dutifully receiving and sending out posts. It's what happens after that that seems to be the problem. When I saw that Chuck had subscribed at a second address I decided to do the same thing and subscribed my U of U account. All messages shown on U-A's web site ( http://mailman.xmission.com/lurker/list/utah-astronomy.en.html ) have made it to my U account but I'm still waiting for the last few to show up on this (my primary) account. So thank you X-Mission (and Cynthia) for the UA list. pw ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.
