Daniel used the phrase "archived by Google." and I just saw "mail archive" and "lists.pdxlinux.org". I didn't click on the link nor realize that mail-archive is a service that archives mailing lists when I glanced at the search results.
There is the Google Webmaster Tools ( https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en) that may help in discovering a problem. I tried to use it but as I'm not the owner/webmaster of PLUG I was unable to. Might be worth a run through to see what it turns up... _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
