esther, because of how gmail handles mail, you will never "receive" your message back from the list. at least you'll never "see" it come in. gmail doesn't display two copies of the same message. so you'll only see it in your sent mail. totally a function of gmail (and perhaps some other sevices) and nothing to do with the list or whether or not it was distributed properly. m<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Hi All:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Great to have the first poem
entry. Ralph did you also send it to OSLIST Poetry?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">I am puzzled, though, although I
got a message telling me that my posting of the poetry contest invitation was
distributed, I didn’t actually get a copy of my posting although I seem to get
many of the OSLIST emails. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Did my posting in fact go out? I’d
love to hear from the list about that. Given the comments that we’ve had over
the last number of months about the unreliability of the list vis a vis people
being able to post or not getting posts, is it time we considered a different
host for our email list?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">On the night
before Now</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">we all
clambored over</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">and greeted
each other by the gateway.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">Now came the
first morning.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">We opened for
each other many conversations</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">and passed
cups around the shining circle.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">On the second
of Now,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">I could see a
long way in people's eyes</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">which cleared
to let in the light.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">On the third
of Now,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">everyone
started dialing up tomorrows,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">released
laughter and embraced </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">every future
Now with braided voices </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">and
sweat-slicked arms.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">Each night Now
the sky</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">came down to
join us,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">like an animal
testing the scents.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">On the fourth
of Now</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">we saw magic
inside ourselves</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">and blew
gently the embers in each other.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">On the fifth
day Now transformed</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">into pieces of
hours and sounds.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">There was
baying and mirth</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">and sweet
fresh rubbing of skin on skin.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">The sixth of
Now saw us</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">plain and
fearful, thrilled and drawn</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">to each other
in new forever dreams.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">On the seventh
of Now</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">we redrew all
our lines,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">filled all the
hollows, as Now expected.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">At last the
night Now</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">draped velvet
and quiet</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">as hushed we
prepared our ascent.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">This night is
that night Now.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">It has
unquenchable questions</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">and the same
different beginning.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">On top of
morning Now</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">and all
through evening Now</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">we waxed and
shined the circle again</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">sipped each
other's songs</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;">and touched
old and new alike.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: "Times","serif"; color: black;"> </span></p>
