I am, and have been, on listservs hosted by university servers. They don't
seem to have any trouble, and everybody seems to get all the messages.

Listservs, ugh.

Players who choose to use only Yahoo's listserv emulation won't see any
difference, of course, but for the rest of us it would feel like setting our
watches back 20 years.

Tim B, I am not getting all the messages either, but I didn't try to
figure out which ones are missing. I didn't get the list of
definitions calling for a vote.

Maybe Paul should talk to Yahoo about this. Sometimes everything seems
to work fine, and other times messages get lost, and not consistently
- they get to some people but not to others.

Does this mean you use Yahoo's web site exclusively? I never use the
web site. My email client threads the list's messages to the extent
they CAN be threaded, and since they all reside on my hard drive,
jumping from message to message is fast, and I can perform elaborate
searches on them in an almost TAPCIS-like manner. So, as you say,
switching to a classic list server would cause me no inconvenience.

That would be lovely if Yahoo would play the game. But there are certain messages that I just don't ever get (atl, let alone on to
my hard drive) - the mix is very eclectic, for example, I always post from email to yahoo, but in the last week not all of my own
messages have been returned - most of them, but not all. This one of yours (to which I am replying) has come but neither the
announcement, nor the defs have yet arrived. Most of the votes have, but not all. As I look on yahoo I can see that its around 10%
that I am not seeing.

I wonder if synchrony has gone... Maybe a web expert could help here, but I noticed before that the ISP servers seemed to be on GMT
while we were on GMT+1 -- Times have changed and nearly all my problems have been since then.. I wonder if the logic of someone's
synchrony may have forgotten the time-change
