Dave, As an example of the irregular nature of the current list server, I did not receive your response. I saw Latcho's response to your response, which thankfully quoted your response, otherwise I would have missed it. I'm not sure how many emails I've missed and *not* known about.

I think the current Mailman configuration works well, although it would be nice if the web archives worked. There's so much helpful information coming through this list, but they end in late 2007. Alan If the consensus is that we should move over there, I'm willing to go ahead and do

snip If the consensus is that we should move over there, I'm willing to go ahead and do that. But I'm a little reluctant to migrate the Flashcoders user list directly over there on my own volition, because of the negative feedback I got last time I had problems with the user list. Dave, the

Hi, Hi! I'm the list owner. Sorry not to respond earlier, but honestly these sorts of things tend to get put on the back burner, if you know what I mean. I check for issues about once a week, usually. I had an inkling you were the list owner - but when I looked on the flashcoders web page

Kerry, My email was a matter of fact one, nothing more. It had nothing to do with the quality of the posts, members or owner. Flash Tiger emails show up very quickly because they're on Yahoo servers. Despite their recent financial troubles, Yahoo has a ton of servers on very fat pipes.

So the question is: Why does Dave use this slow hosting company to run the Flashcoders mailing list when there are better and cheaper (free) alternatives available? Good question! But first, I should correct a minor misperception. It's not a matter of a slow hosting company, or a slow server

I have slow email issues with Flashcoders, as well. There's a noticable delay between when I post and when it shows up. Sometimes I get no emails for awhile, and then a slew of them come in (like a hose that's been crimped and then released). FlashTiger emails show up very quickly, but

FlashTiger emails show up very quickly, but they're a Yahoo group, so the host is very fast.  Compared to Yahoo, atlas.pipex.net is rinky-dink. Not that it matters, but we're not on pipex.net, that's Glen's ISP. We're on Edgeweb, and actually have lots of bandwidth. But we only have a single
