I think I mentioned this to someone else.
Make sure your message is sent to "Reply to all" rather than just "Reply". Otherwise your message will go to one person instead of to us all.
I haven't used Outlook Express in a long while, so perhaps others can offer better advice.
Get it fixed. I have some replies building up for you!

To the List,
This morning I recieved six e-mails and I sent one last night that I had put together after a considerable amount of thought. I have not seen anywhere near the volumes that George is complaining about from the list. I also have a serious limitation on my time but try to write seriously when I do. Yesterday I thought and worked on a post and put it on the list last night and it seems to have disappeared. I didn't get a copy back and I didn't get an overwhelming volume this morning from FW. And I have had only two remove e-mails. Evidently from what George says there have been more.
So I am wondering if I am getting all of the mail? I get between three and six posts a day from FW and I haven't been able to access the FW site to check the threads. I wonder if people are talking to me and I am not responding because I don't get the mail? Could you tell me how much you have been getting and whether you got a post from me sent at 10:28 last night marked RE: ECONOMICs? It did not come back to me this morning.
Also, I am using Outlook Express with the rich text format. Is any of that a problem?

Subject: Observations on Recent Activity on This Listserve
I have *very much* enjoyed being on this list.
Many of the posts have been interesting and timely.
In fact, I've learned a great deal about what's going on and being
considered in the world of work, while also being able to use many of the posts in
my "Communication and Quality of Worklife" course.
However, in the last couple of months, the sheer volume
of e-mail has become overwhelming. More importantly,
many of the posts are now reduced to brief comments that are parts
of exchanges involving a handful of people. I think
we can fairly infer that these are the reasons for the
number of recent REMOVAL messages by subscribers.
May I gently suggest that some of the more frequent users
be a bit more judicious in trying not to post their every little
thought or comment, instead accumulating comments for longer, more
considered posts?
Thanks,
