The readership of the other list is smaller, but it does include most of the major writers for this list. The other list was set up as a back-up list, because Techserv has gone down fairly frequently, and its welcome materials specifically encourage subscribing to this list (Techserv). However, posts to [EMAIL PROTECTED] do usually get answered; I think that this one might have been considered low priority. Normally we do discourage writing to both lists simultaneously (since we think that everyone on the yahoogroups list is probably also subscribed to this one) but the visitor did wait a decent interval, more than necessary. I'm cc-ing Mr. Potts; perhaps Mr. Mayo already took care of that. I would really like to discourage posting through the Association web site, because there is always this question of response method. This particular question was recently answered. I did a search on "library viewer" on the message list for [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://groups.yahoo.com/group/protel-users-PEDA-Archive/messages The archive list is an open list, I don't think you have to join to read that page. There is a Search Archive entry field.... It did not find the postings to which I referred, but it did find the question and Mr. Mayo's response. I thought I'd take the occasion to remind users that the archive exists and is searchable. I suspect that only the subject lines are searched. More extensive searches might be done through google.com, but there is a delay before web pages are indexed there. There are 257 subscribers to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; the lack of activity there is deliberate, most of us, if we have questions, ask here, unless we think that Techserv might be down, which we are likely to know since it gets announced on protel-users. I highly recommend subscribing to protel-users, you will add very little traffic to your mail. If you ever do find that you are getting to much mail, you can set your user options on yahoogroups to "only special notices." This will leave the user group a way to contact you. (We haven't done that yet -- used the special announcement facility --, but times are changing!)
