<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Pat, here's how the lists have been set up.
All messages posted to LISTSERV show up on Egroups. All messages posted to
Egroups are posted to LISTSERV -- but you have to check the messages at the
Egroups website; this has been done to avoid your receiving two copies of every
posting (one from each list, since the lists have been set up for cross
posting). OSLIST is set up to reject duplicate postings, but each of these
rejections sends an error message to me, and that's a needless wastage of
bandwidth. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My guess is that Esther's message may have been
sent privately to Martin, and Martin may be checking only his messages from
Listserv. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Until the OSLIST community decides as a whole to
move to Egroups (or some other forum), I suggest you post all messages to
LISTSERV rather than Egroups -- anyone monitoring Egroups will be able to read
Listserv messages there too.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Murli, I wonder if the automatic cross-listing
that you set up between the two versions of the OSLIST is working
properly. I replied to a message from Martin Leith (subject "American
Terms") about the meaning of "redux" on July 6th, sending my reply to the
eGroups list. The message has appeared on that list, but I didn't get a copy
sent to me from the old list. And today, Martin replied (subject
"redux") to a message from Esther thanking her for explaining the term to
him. I'm not sure which Esther he was replying to because I haven't seen
her message. I looked on eGroups and it isn't there, and I haven't been
emailed a copy from the old list -- though I DID get a copy of Martin's
message sent from the old list. Martin didn't acknowledge my response,
but I don't know if that means he didn't receive it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Not sure exactly what's happening, but some
messages seem to be slipping between the cracks.</FONT></DIV>
