I am aware that not all my mails make it onto the list . I have felt
that maybe they are not getting through because of the content and a
whole section with mails from Justin Caines Jennifairy and myself
didn't make it into my email box. I read them on the yahoo site as I
was checking to see if my own mail was there.
This puts me off replying because it just seems that maybe all points
of view are not wanted.

I know enough about the vagaries of computers (yes Im a closet nerd) to
trust that there is no conspiracy by the Ozmid webmistress to censor
certain emails. Realistically it would be a full time job to read every
post to this list & 'cull' the ones that dont fit the mold.
Like childbirth & midwifery, computer technology is not an exact
science, there will always be 'glitches in the system', ghosts in the
machine... & yes I have had confused moments especially in the last 6
months or so on this list when I come across a reply to a post I never
got as an original, etc. It does seem to be happening more than it used
to (Ive been on & off, but mostly on, the list now for about 5 years), &
it can be hard to track down where the problem is - users computer /mail
settings, ISP settings, server settings, etc. For some reason
KellyBelly's emails *always* used to end up in my Trash folder until I
created a filter specifically for her posts to the list, to send them to
my Ozmid folder (?!) go figure....
If it works 90% of the time then Im happy with that, we of all people
should understand there are no guarantees of perfection, & anyway the
archive is there for reference if needed.
Please dont refrain from posting Lisa, I for one appreciate your posts
very much, you have a very valuable perspective to offer.
cheers
