Likewise I didn't get the original message in this thread, but as to the lost messages in general, I think I have solved the problem by subscribing to the digest as well as keeping my long in the tooth reflected list subscription. By doing so, I can now see what Jeri writes (and hopefully, Devon, when she writes again) but tonight, low and behold, there was the original post in this thread included in the digest. Why it isn't in the archives I don't know, I very rarely have time to go chasing through them for possible missed messages. Jeri's message about updating the list is interesting, but are we gaining enough new members to Arachne to make the considerable time and effort worthwhile? The list is extremely quiet compared to the days when we had to split the list in two (lace and chat) to cope with the amount of mail coming into our mailboxes every day! In the past there have been (at least suggestions of) offshoot Yahoo groups to discuss various projects (like the world map we were going to do for the millennium, but I think never got round to) and these, I suspect, have come and gone as we've never heard of them again. The younger generation (and many of us older ones!) now use Facebook, and there are very active groups for lacemakers (with a good few Arachnes amongst them) who communicate and share photos on a much more frequent basis than that which is being done here. Whether or not, in a few years, Avital will (between runs and office moves) be able to put her feet up is yet to be seen, but somehow I doubt Arachne will have much conversation going on in another twenty or so years. Technology changes fast, and Arachne projects (other than the exchanges) tend to start slow and grind to a halt! The Yahoo/AOL problem doesn't only affect the messages on lists like these - it causes problems at work, too, where we cannot always reliably expect a message sent to be received if sent from my boss' live account, but if sent from the BT account it usually gets through. I have been known, in desperation, to print and either fax or (snail-mail) post an email before now! What it probably needs is all of the businesses who are affected to complain, but I'm not holding my breath on that one!
